Airbus: H225M exceeds threshold of 100,000 flight hours
(CercleFinance.com) - The H225M helicopter with 88 currently in service in six countries across the globe, has now surpassed the 100,000 flight hour milestone, following its first delivery to the French Air Force in 2006.
This helicopter was rapidly deployed by the French Air Force in Lebanon in 2006 where the H225M, also known as the Caracal, successfully evacuated around 300 people.
Since then the H225M has proven its reliability and durability in combat conditions and crisis areas such as Afghanistan, Chad, the Ivory Coast, the Central African Republic and Mali, while also supporting NATO-led operations in Libya.
“We are thrilled to see that the H225M has achieved this symbolic milestone with helicopters flying in different corners of the globe and in some of the harshest theatres of operation” said Michel Macia, Head of Super Puma program at Airbus Helicopters.
