Aloccio said “lots of commercial opportunities” are available, amounting to between “50 to 100” aircraft, noting The Netherlands commitment in September to acquire additional NH90s. He said “a lot” of Middle East nations had expressed interest too.

First parts from scrapped MRH90 fleet arrive to bolster NHI inventory as airframer boosts availability...

Parts from Australia’s scrapped NH Industries (NHI) NH90 helicopters have begun arriving in Europe as the manufacturer continues to drive availability improvements for the global fleet.

But rather than simply see the aircraft written off, NHI struck a deal with Australia to purchase around 4,000 components to feed its spare parts pool, part of a broader €500 million ($546 million) inventory investment by the joint venture and its parent companies Airbus Helicopters, Leonardo and GKN/Fokker.

The Swedish Armed Forces have celebrated the end of the NH90 retrofit programme at Airbus Helicopters’ site in Marignane, France.

The celebration marks the end of the upgrade programme to convert four NH90 helicopters from the troop transport version to one adapted to anti-submarine warfare. The Swedish Armed Forces will now operate nine NH90s (HPK14 E) in the land configuration for troop transport and search and rescue missions and nine NH90s (HPK14 F) in the anti-submarine warfare version with a sonar that is particularly adapted to the shallow waters of the Baltic Sea.
