Charter operator GCA Skyline acquires new Airbus helicopter H130
Charter operator GCA Skyline Aviation Inc. on Thursday said it has acquired a new Airbus helicopter H130.
In a statement, GCA Skyline said its very first H130 was acquired early last month and will be immediately operational to perform commercial missions, including VIP transport and tourism.
“As a fast growing company, we look to the most efficient and reliable aircraft to expand our operations in a sustainable manner,” Joenina Mah, accountable director of GCA Skyline, said in a statement.
“Having experienced the powerful and cost-efficient H125 and the successes it has brought us, we are confident that the H130 is the ideal platform to meet our needs, as we expand our operations," Mah added.
According to GCA Skyline, H130 has roomy interior that allows an eight-seater configuration for panoramic "helitours" and comfortable VIP transportation.
“The Philippines is the one of the most active markets in the Southeast Asia region, presenting abundant opportunities for new helicopter acquisition. We are happy that Airbus Helicopters is chosen by GCA Skyline once again as its sole helicopter provider," Lionel de Maupeou, managing director of Airbus Helicopters Philippines, said. — Ted Cordero/BM, GMA News
