The international energy group Shell has selected leading US offshore helicopter operator PHI to operate four Airbus H160 helos to service an oil and gas support contract in the Gulf of Mexico. The contract marks the entry into the market for the H160s. Airbus, PHI and Shell are cooperating in a unique partnership. In a pioneering move, Airbus will provide one H160 ahead of final deliveries for a year-long route-proving program to enable operators and final customer familiarization. At PHI, the helo will be based at Houma, La., and will join a large Airbus fleet of H125s and H135s deployed in emergency medical service throughout the country, as well as two H145s operating for Shell on pipeline survey work in Louisiana, and two H145s flying the world’s longest harbor pilot shuttle in Mackay, Australia.
