Airbus will be promoting the company’s innovative helicopter solutions that can enhance most humanitarian actors’ performance, in particular by providing the highest level of air transport efficiency to organisations such as international agencies, governmental and non-governmental organisations, foundations and charities, Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies as well as private logistics companies.
With humanitarian missions operating in some of the harshest and most challenging environmental conditions, Airbus said it is committed to ensuring the people devoted to help others can also benefit from the highest helicopter standards available on the market. “Saving lives, bringing doctors to remote locations, transporting food & medicines or perform medical evacuations are what Airbus Helicopters’ dedicated helicopters can do to bring safety and efficiency to humanitarian missions,” the company said..
The conference delegates will be shown the AS332 C1e, a medium-heavy, twin-engine helicopter that belongs to the well-known Super-Puma/Cougar family and which offers outstanding performance with long-range capabilities. This powerful and fast helicopter can perform a large spectrum of missions serving air crane and air transport private and/or para-public operators engaged in emergency humanitarian aid. The heavy-lift AS332 C1e is also able to operate in harsh conditions such as snow, sand or high and hot environments. Thanks to its state-of-the-art avionics and EASA/FAA certifications, it ensures a high level of safety for pilots and passengers.
