The H145s will be operated by the Honduran Air Force (FAH) to carry out passenger and cargo transport missions, search and rescue (SAR), firefighting, medical evacuation, and other essential missions in the region.
In addition to the operational advantages and safety features that have made the H145 a commercial success worldwide, the five-blade version acquired by Honduras offers an additional 150 kg of payload and greater comfort for passengers and crew. Its compact fuselage allows it to operate and land in confined spaces, which is particularly useful in Honduras’ complex geography, characterized by dense jungles and rugged mountains.
In total, there are over 1,600 helicopters from the H145 family in service, with more than 7.5 million flight hours. More than 120 are currently flying in Latin America. Thanks to its high flight availability rate and ability to operate in all weather conditions, the H145 can be ready to take off within minutes in case of an emergency.
