Airbus H160 Assembly Line - Marignane

Airbus H160 Assembly Line - Marignane

A view of the Airbus H160 assembly line on January 14, 2022 in Marignane, south of France. This helicopter is certified to operate on 50 % Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)/biomass fuel. With its low fuel consumption, optimised maintenance costs and faster cruise speed, the H160 paves the way for economic competitiveness compared with other helicopters in its class. Fuel consumption is reduced by 15 % compared with the previous engine class for the same operations, while maintenance costs are reduced by almost 15% for the “airframe by the hour” and “service by the hour” options. Designed as a multi-role helicopter capable of carrying out a wide range of missions – such as offshore transport, emergency medical services, private and business aviation, as well as public services – the highly flexible H160 incorporates the latest Airbus innovations.
