Monacair has inked a firm order deal with Airbus Helicopters (Marseilles) for six H130s the first of which is scheduled for delivery next month with the rest to be phased in through to May 2016.
Coming from the Ecureuil family of light helicopters, the H130, accommodates one pilot and up to six passengers.
The helicopters will be the Monegasque operator's maiden in-house machines joining the rest of its fleet of 20 helicopters, half of which are Airbus Helicopters.
Specializing in private VIP helicopter management, Monacair will launch scheduled Monte Carlo-Nice, France flights in January 2016 having wrestled the contract away from incumbent operator, Heli Air Monaco (YO, Monte Carlo), after a government tender this past summer.
