Inside The $10 Million Airbus ACH135 Private Helicopter

This is the Airbus ACH135, the luxurious version of the H135. The aircraft was launched in the mid-1990s as a replacement for the aging Bo105, and when Airbus launched their ACH brand in 2017, the ACH135 was positioned as a premium offering in the light twin-engine segment, intended to provide an elevated level of customization, comfort, and performance to meet the expectations of VIP, corporate, and private owners.
Over the years, the H135 platform saw numerous enhancements, including engine upgrades and advancements in avionic systems, and these were often mirrored in the ACH135, given its positioning as a high-end, versatile, and capable aircraft. The focus on customization and luxury became more pronounced in the ACH135 variant, with the introduction of premium interiors, advanced in-flight entertainment systems, and improved noise insulation.
The base purchase price for a new Airbus ACH135 is $10 million before options, and the charter price is estimated at $2,500 to $4,000 per hour. Naturally, prices will vary depending on availability, fuel prices, ground fees, and more.
While the annual fixed cost is roughly $200,000 to $300,000, the average hourly operating cost is estimated at $1,250 to $2,000.
Here is everything you need to know about the Airbus ACH135.
