The new H145 helicopters are the first five-bladed versions to be acquired by Milestone and the first to be operated by NHV
21 January 2021: Milestone Aviation and NHV have partnered to supply two Airbus five-blazed H145 helicopters to support Germany’s Federal Armed Forces’ training program at Laupheim. The new H145 helicopters are the first five-bladed versions to be acquired by Milestone and the first to be operated by NHV. Apart from this, Milestone has also delivered a four-bladed H145 to NHV in 2020.
The H145 is a maintenance friendly helicopter as the maintenance procedures optimise the intervals between periodic inspections, ensuring increased availability and reduced operating costs. The optional health monitoring system with usage monitoring system (HUMS) keeps track of the engine’s health in accordance with usage conditions, resulting in further availability and enhanced, cost-effective maintenance.
Sebastien Moulin, Milestone head of Europe and the Americas, said, “The helicopters leased to NHV cover a wide range of missions ranging from oil and gas transportation, emergency services, windfarm maintenance, and now military training. The ability to provide such tailor-made solutions is a key differentiator for Milestone and illustrates the depth of service capability we offer.”
Milestone and NHV have a strong partnership of over eight years and Milestone has leased eight helicopters into NHV fleet.
