Rotortrade have reported the successful completion of a significant transaction in Latin America, with the sale of an Airbus H160 to Helipatagonia in Argentina.

This transaction marks the first H160 to enter service in Argentina and across the Southern Cone, representing an important step in the region’s fleet modernization and operational capabilities.

[Editor Note: this is the traditional definition of “Southern Cone” – ie Argentina, Uruguay and Chile.  Helicopter Market Intelligence company Parapex Media reports a further six H160s are operational in Brazil, and some are within the southern Brazilian states which sometimes make up the alternative definition of “Southern Cone”]

The project required coordination across multiple stakeholders, including OEM, local partners, and authorities, as well as alignment between our LATAM and European teams.

Beyond the transaction itself, we supported pilot training coordination and technical readiness, ensuring the aircraft was fully operational upon entry into service. This reflects our commitment to delivering complete solutions, not just aircraft.

We thank all partners, Helipatagonia, Airbus, Helicópteros Marinos, Sabena Technics – all involved for their collaboration and trust.
