THC was founded by PIF as part of its strategy to activate new industries in Saudi Arabia that support the realization of Vision 2030 and generate long-term commercial returns, while also meeting the growing demand for luxury travel and tourism services. THC will begin offering its services in 2019. To improve accessibility to domestic tourist destinations and offer services like filming and aerial surveying, THC previously signed contracts to purchase 10 Airbus H125s and six ACH160 helicopters.
The new HCare offer includes three flexible solutions in addition to HCare Initial and HCare Lifetime, including HCare In-Service. For specific fleets, HCare First is offered for Airbus Corporate Helicopters aircraft, while HCare Classics is offered for the legacy fleet’s out-of-production models (H120, Dauphin, Puma and Gazelle).
