PHI Aviation

Celebrating 75 Years of PHI Excellence 🎉 Last week, we gathered in Perth to mark PHI’s 75th anniversary, celebrating a legacy of innovation, resilience, and global leadership in aviation. The event began with a profound Welcome to Country by Barry McGuire, who beautifully connected the Australian culture to PHI’s core values. We reflected on our journey with inspiring remarks from recently retired Director Richard Jupp, who shared PHI's remarkable history, and APAC COO Cory Latiolais, CSP, who closed the event with a vision for the future. From our humble beginnings in 1949—with just three Bell 47 helicopters and seven employees—PHI Aviation has grown into an industry leader, operating over 200 helicopters and employing more than 2,500 dedicated team members worldwide. Here in #Australia, we are proud to support the energy sector and beyond, continuing to push the boundaries of excellence and innovation. Thank you to our customers, partners, and employees—past, present, and future—for being part of this incredible journey. Here’s to the next 75 years of aviation excellence! #PHIAviation #75YearsStrong #Innovation #Aviation #EnergySector #AviationLeadership #GlobalImpact

Celebrating Global Collaboration: Seven Years of Working with INPEX The PHI Aviation executive team had the privilege of visiting INPEX Corporation's Tokyo-based headquarters in October, to celebrate a significant milestone in our seven years of working together. A highlight of the visit was Cory Latiolais, CSP, APAC COO, presenting Yosuke Happo-san, INPEX CORPORATION Senior Vice President, Logistics & IMT, with a plaque commemorating this collaboration. This visit also marked the inaugural Japanese meeting between the leadership teams of PHI and INPEX, enabling valuable understanding to support continued shared success.  After productive discussions in Tokyo, we were pleased to host the INPEX Australia executive team at our Broome, Western Australia operations base, where they got their first look at our new Airbus #H175 aircraft – showcasing PHI’s commitment to advancing operations with a strong focus on safety, efficiency and innovation. This series of meetings underscored our shared commitment to contributing to a sustainable, innovative future. A heartfelt thank you to the INPEX teams in Japan for their warm hospitality and to our Broome-based team for hosting such an insightful visit. We are excited to build on this momentum and explore new ways to drive continued success together. #Globalcollaboration #Innovation #Sustainability #Leadership

Two Airbus H175 helicopters have officially entered service with PHI Aviation in Australia, supporting their offshore energy transportation, search and rescue, and medical evacuation operations.   PHI, which has pioneered many firsts over its 75-year history, operates bases in Broome, Darwin and Exmouth, Australia. The new H175 helicopters will be based out of Broome, with additional H175s expected to join the fleet in the coming months.   “These state-of-the-art aircraft are a significant addition to our growing fleet in Australia. They elevate our operational capabilities while reinforcing our commitment to sustainable innovation and delivering world-class service to our clients,” said Cory Latiolais, CSP, PHI Aviation Chief Operating Officer, Asia Pacific.   “We are pleased to support our long-term customer PHI Aviation with delivery of the H175 helicopters for their current Australian fleet. The high performance of the H175 aircraft in the challenging Western Australian environment is an excellent addition for the PHI Aviation fleet, especially with their focus on search and rescue operations and marine transfers,” said Christian Venzal, Managing Director of Airbus Helicopters in Australia and New Zealand.   PHI is a global leader in providing safe and reliable helicopter transportation, with a strong focus on supporting energy providers, hospitals and air medical organisations, and governments worldwide.   Check out this video of one of the H175s flying in Marignane before it was delivered. #AirbusHelicopters #MakingMissionsPossible #H175 #PHIAviation
