SMFL LCI Orders 14 Airbus Helicopters



(22/05/24)
 
SMFL LCI Helicopters (SMFLH), a joint venture
between Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing
(SMFL) and LCI, has ordered 14 helicopters from Airbus.

The deal, which consists
of 14 firm orders with options on a further seven, is made up of a mix of light
twin H145, medium twin H160 and super medium H175 helicopters.

SMFLH has ordered a mix of H145, H160 and H175 helicopters

The new helicopters will be delivered through to
2028 and will be aimed at a variety of operating segments such as
emergency medical services (EMS), search and rescue (SAR), and
offshore energy, including wind.

“The helicopter
marketplace is facing a number of key capacity decisions as it
looks to match supply with underlying demand requirements,” said Jaspal Jandu,
CEO of LCI. “This
order for up to 21 latest generation helicopters reflects our
combined determination to deliver solutions for operators and end
users in a lasting, efficient and pragmatic way.”

The new Airbus helicopters will be
equipped with the latest suite of navigational and safety features
and will also be capable of using blended sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

LCI and SMFL’s combined fleet currently includes
over 40 Airbus helicopters. They are deployed by 12 operators in
over 10 countries around the globe on a range of missions.
