Crew camped at the stopping off points between South Africa and Ethiopia

H125s operated by Savannah Helicopters monitored famine-causing locust infestations in Ethiopia

Scandair uses the H125 with a GPS-controlled bucket system

With its 1,400kg lifting capacity, the H125 has proven ideal for spreading lime on Swedish lakes to correct their PH balance

The Flightlab was customised for testing of the engine back-up system
Flightlab will help Airbus deliver proof of concept for tomorrow’s technologies much more efficiently

Flightlab’s small team of test flight pilots and engineers oversees each mission, analysing data as they go

The H130 uses a Safran Arriel 2D turbine engine which includes a new-generation dual channel full authority digital engine control (FADEC) system
