Japan’s National Police Agency becomes new Airbus H160 operator

The National Police Agency (NPA) of Japan has taken delivery of two Airbus H160 helicopters, making it the first para-public operator of the type in Japan.

ITP Aero has successfully completed engine testing using a blend of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) with conventional jet fuel at its Albacete (Spain) facilities with the GE Aerospace CT7-8F5 engine, which powers the Spanish Ministry of Defence’s NH-90 helicopter. Going forward, ITP Aero plans to use approved SAF blends in all CT7 engines. With the support of GE Aerospace and bp, this milestone is an important part of ITP Aero’s efforts to help the aviation industry reduce emissions.
