Chilean operator Ecocopter is working in partnership with bbosch, a leading company in the country’s energy development and metalworking industry, to optimise the cleaning of the country’s electrical insulators.
Chile is a country with more than 4,300 kilometres of coastline, not including the Antarctic Territory, so naturally there are a variety of missions needed to ensure the protection of its coastal populations. The Chilean Navy carries out maritime search and rescue missions, as well as caring for the aquatic environment, safeguarding national assets and upholding maritime safety.
Reliability and power are the name of the game in the Swiss Alps, where Swiss helicopter operator Air Zermatt has been making its mark since 1968. In such challenging mountain environments, Air Zermatt’s red and white H125s reign supreme. So what better successor to the H125 than the same “upgraded” aircraft?
Ecocopter has ordered three H125s and one H145 to be used for aerial work missions in a variety of industrial sectors. The helicopters will be delivered by the end of 2022 and mid-2023 respectively, and will join Ecocopter’s fleet of 18 helicopters, solely composed of Airbus aircraft, and which carry out operations in Chile, Peru and Ecuador.
