Jaspal Jandu, CEO of LCI, said, “The Airbus H175
is a versatile, multi-purpose helicopter and this order will help
to maintain the breadth of LCI’s product offering. This latest
chapter in our partnership is an important element of our
long-term growth strategy, and demonstrates our confidence in the
helicopter leasing market.”
LCI’s fleet currently includes around 50 Airbus
helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. They are deployed by 14
operators in 10 countries across the globe on a range of missions
including emergency medical services, search and rescue and
offshore.

excess of US$8 billion of transactions in the aviation market.
“LCI is a longstanding and valued Airbus partner.
As a leading lessor and operator of Airbus helicopters, their
renewed commitment to the H175 demonstrates the strength of the
marketplace and its post-pandemic recovery,” said Bruno Even, CEO
of Airbus Helicopters.
The H175 first entered service in 2015 and is a highly versatile,
super-medium aircraft that can operate in a range of different
configurations.
