A new milestone for NH90

On Friday 17th March, NHIndustries celebrated the delivery of the 500th NH90. This delivery marks a symbolic milestone and a remarkable achievement since the first delivery in December 2006 to the German Army.

On this occasion, representatives from NAHEMA, Nations and NHIndustries Partner Companies came together in Airbus Helicopters' facilities in Marignane to celebrate the handover of this new helicopter to the French Army Aviation.

The 500th delivery is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of hundreds of individuals who have been involved in the development, production, and maintenance of the NH90. It is also a testimony to the strength of the NHIndustries partnership between Airbus Helicopters, Leonardo, GKN Aerospace, and all suppliers committed to this Programme.

The NH90 is a proven military helicopter that continues to be a reference in modern military aviation. Its advanced technology and versatility make it an excellent choice for the most challenging missions in the most severe environments. 18 customers in 14 countries are using the NH90 helicopter.
