KUCHING (Feb 21): Airbus, with the support of Hornbill Skyways and HAS International, has deployed an H175 helicopter for its maiden flight demonstration tour in East Malaysia and Brunei.

The week-long campaign, which started on Feb 20, will see the super medium twin-engine aircraft cover more than 2,200km across Borneo, the world’s third largest island.

“Beginning from Miri, the H175 demo will make another two stops in Brunei Darussalam and Kota Kinabalu before returning to Miri, showcasing in real time its excellent performance, high speed, smooth flight qualities, and cabin comfort,” Airbus said in a statement yesterday.
