Know which model you are choosing

The model and its relatives

Helicopter H130 Eurocopter EC130

The EC130 enlarged the Ecureuil cabin and introduced a shrouded tail rotor. The T2 arrived in 2012 with a revised engine and comfort improvements; it was later renamed H130. The figures here describe the T2/H130.

Helicopter H125

The H125 is a single-engine helicopter for transfers, sightseeing and selected mountain destinations. Its compact cabin normally seats four to six passengers, depending on the interior and crew.

Model historyWhere it began and how it evolved

The EC130 took the Ecureuil platform in a passenger-focused direction. A wider cabin and broad glazing improved the experience of sightseeing flights, while the enclosed tail rotor helped reduce external noise. The later T2 developed that approach with more power and cabin refinements. H130 is the Airbus name for this branch, rather than a larger twin-engine helicopter.

Before you choose

Can I stand upright in the cabin?

The cabin is lower than 180 cm, so a person of that height cannot stand fully upright. The scaled illustration shows the difference. Maximum cabin height: 1.30 m.

Will my helicopter have this exact interior?

Not necessarily. These photographs and the layout illustrate the model. We check the actual interior, seats and equipment when preparing your proposal.

When should I consider this model?

The H130 gives passengers a broad cabin and large windows. It is especially suitable for scenic flights and short transfers where the view is part of the journey.
