What the Airbus H155 is like

Long-range twin-engine VIP helicopter from the Dauphin family (marketed as Eurocopter EC155 before the 2015 Airbus rebrand), with one of the quietest and widest cabins in its class, typically fitted with 8 club seats (up to 13 in utility layout). A charter-desk staple for city-center transfers, yacht and estate shuttles, and 400+ nm regional hops such as London-Paris nonstop at around 150 kts.

Questions

Airbus H155: charter questions

Typically 8 in charter configuration. Cabin layouts differ from one aircraft to the next, so ask the operator for the seat map of the exact aircraft you are quoted, and how many of the seats convert to beds if you fly overnight.
About 463 nautical miles (857 km, 533 statute miles), or roughly 3 hours at its typical cruise speed of 150 knots. That is the published figure, which assumes a light load, calm winds and standard fuel reserves: a full cabin, heavy bags, headwinds or a cold-weather alternate airport all cut it.
It cruises around 150 knots, about 173 mph or 278 km/h. Block time on a real trip adds taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds.
A helicopter. Short transfers between cities, airports, resorts and helipads. Comparable aircraft in our catalog: Bell 429, Sikorsky S-76, Leonardo AW139 and Airbus H125.
A charter is priced per trip, not per seat: the route, dates, repositioning of the aircraft, overnight crew costs and fees all go into the quote, so we quote the trip rather than publish one figure. Our guide to private jet costs has dated price ranges by aircraft size, and our charter desk quotes this aircraft and its alternatives for your dates.
