Korean business aviation operator K-Aviation took delivery of country’s first corporate ACH160. The helicopter will join its fleet of business aircraft for private aviation services in Korea. The ACH160 is the premium version of the H160, which was certified by Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in April 2024.
Frederic Lemos, Head of Airbus Corporate Helicopters commented: “We thank K-Aviation’s vote of confidence in our latest offering as we herald a new chapter with the ACH160 in Korea. The next-generation ACH160 is known for its innovative design, performance and comfort superiority, setting new standards for corporate and private transportation. We look forward to more ACH160s flying in the country soon.”

Capable of performing wide-ranging missions including law enforcement, offshore transportation, search and rescue, private and business aviation, and emergency medical services, the H160 has entered into service in Brazil, Canada, France, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, U.K., U.S. and many other European countries.
