Coast Guard adds three H225s
@AirbusHeli @JCG_koho #H225
Tokyo, 11
April 2024 – Japan Coast Guard (JCG)
has placed an additional order for three H225 helicopters, taking
its total H225 fleet up to 18. The largest Super Puma operator in
Japan received three H225s in December 2023 and one in February
2024 for its growing fleet. The new helicopters will support
territorial coastal activities, maritime law enforcement, as well
as disaster relief missions in the country.
“The Japan Coast Guard has been an active operator of the Super
Puma family helicopters for three decades. This follow-on order
demonstrates the customer’s confidence in our products and the
dedicated support to their fleet,” said Jean-Luc Alfonsi, Managing
Director of Airbus Helicopters in Japan. “We believe the H225 is
the perfect choice for JCG’s critical missions for law enforcement,
as well as coastal and island protection, given its versatility in
all weather conditions. We are committed to fully supporting its
existing fleet, as well as its upcoming deliveries, ensuring high
availability for its operations.”
JCG’s H225 fleet is covered by Airbus’ highly adaptive HCare Smart
full-by-the-hour material support. This customised fleet
availability programme allows the national coast guard agency to
focus on its flight operations whilst Airbus manages its assets.
As the latest addition to the Super Puma family, the H225 is
recognised for its high performance in challenging conditions as
well as its outstanding range and payload capacity. The H225 has
benefited from Airbus Helicopters’ continuous improvement policy.
It is now equipped with new avionics including the largest screens
available on the market and an innovative interface that, combined
with its renowned autopilot, reduces pilot workload and enables
them to focus on the mission at hand.
Offering the industry’s best range, speed, payload and reliability
in the 11-ton-category twin-engine rotorcraft, the H225 offers
outstanding endurance and fast cruise speed, and can be fitted with
various equipment to suit a variety of roles.
24 H225s are currently flown in Japan by Japan’s Ministry of
Defence or parapublic operators for various search and rescue
missions, VIP, fire-fighting, as well as passenger and goods
transportation.
