AHI delivers H145 to SoCal Air

COLUMBUS, Miss. - Airbus Helicopters Inc. (AHI) delivered a twin-engine H145 helicopter to SoCal Air Services, a venture recently launched by Fred Luddy, founder of ServiceNow, a cloud computing company that Forbes magazine declared: “The World’s Most Innovative Company of 2018”. “We are extremely excited to begin flying our new H145,” said Lundy, and was “immediately drawn to (it) at the Heli Expo trade show in Las Vegas,” he continued. What impressed SoCal about the H145 was its large cabin capacity, high performance, safety features, stylish design, and configuration versatility, all of which make it an invaluable asset to build its business. The H145 was delivered out of AHI’s industrial facilities in Columbus, Miss., and will serve as the lead rotorcraft for SoCal Air Services out of Carlsbad, Calif. The company will operate the helicopter for charter flights, movie work, real estate operations and to support Luddy’s other business interests, including the World Team Tennis League, a sports property he owns with Billie Jean King.
