NHIndustries secures €50m support contract to boost Greek NH90 helicopter fleet

NHIndustries and the Greek Ministry of National Defence have signed a €50 million follow-on support contract for the country’s NH90 fleet. The five-year agreement will establish a comprehensive support ecosystem, providing spare parts and maintenance services aimed at significantly increasing fleet availability.

“This support contract is a key milestone for the success of the NH90 fleet in Greece,” said Axel Aloccio, President of NHIndustries and Head of the NH90 Program at Airbus Helicopters. “We recently delivered the 20th and final NH90 to the Hellenic Army and this contract will be essential to ensuring that these state-of-the-art helicopters will be available to perform their critical missions,” he added.

The NH90 Tactical Transport Helicopter (TTH) is a multi-role military platform designed for demanding operational environments. Its spacious cabin can be configured to carry up to 20 combat-equipped troops, 12 medevac stretchers, or internal cargo via a full-width rear ramp. The aircraft features advanced technology including a 100% fly-by-wire flight control system, a fully composite airframe, and a modern avionics suite enabling day/night and all-weather operation. The NH90 TTH supports missions ranging from troop transport and special operations to combat search and rescue (SAR) and utility roles.

This news comes after the New Zealand government awarded a contract to NHIndustries for upgrades to its NH90 rotorcraft fleet.
