Airbus H160 - First firefighting operator

Hiroshima City Fire Services Bureau in Japan makes history as the world's first firefighting operator of H160! The H160 will enter service in early 2026, taking on a crucial role for the people of Hiroshima. Equipped with a fire-fighting bucket, it will be a multi-mission workhorse for aerial fire-fighting, search and rescue, emergency medical missions, and disaster relief and reconnaissance. This new helicopter will replace their AS365 N3, bringing a step-change in capability with its advanced avionics, superior maneuverability, and a significantly reduced acoustic footprint for quieter operations. #AirbusHelicopters #H160 #firefighting
