Always betting on innovation, Omni Táxi Aéreo has just added the first H175 model to its helicopter fleet. Manufactured in France by Airbus Helicopters, the super medium-sized aircraft, capable of comfortably carrying 16 passengers, is the first of its kind to operate in South America.

The aircraft arrives in Brazil to fulfill Omni's new contract with Petrobras, in a passenger and cargo transportation operation in the Amazon Region, where the oil company develops gas production activities. The aircraft has the latest equipment, in line with the best and most modern practices of the aeronautical industry, such as TCAS 2 and external cameras for monitoring operations.

According to Roberto Coimbra, Omni’s CEO, “The arrival of the H175 aircraft represents another milestone in the Company's history. Once again Omni moves ahead of market trends, incorporating the second super-medium-sized aircraft to its fleet, which will allow even more flexibility in operations and offer more personalized and more cost-effective air transport solutions to our customers . ”

The aircraft arrived in Rio de Janeiro on September 17th and will soon be transferred to its new base, in the Amazon Region, where it will operate for the next few years.
