Airbus Helicopters has
signed a contract with the Singapore Ministry of Defence for the acquisition of
H225M – Medium Lift Helicopters.
“We are greatly
honoured that Singapore has selected the H225M as its next-generation Medium
Lift Helicopter” said Guillaume Faury, CEO of Airbus Helicopters. “The Super
Puma has served Singapore well for the last 30 years. The addition of the H225M
to the RSAF fleet will bring a step change in capabilities thanks to a proven,
versatile and extremely modern platform, that is able to cope with the most
challenging missions”, he added.
Singapore’s fleet of
H225M will be used for a wide spectrum of operations including Search and
Rescue (SAR), Aeromedical Evacuation (AME), and Humanitarian Assistance and
Disaster Relief (HADR) operations. A proven platform with exceptional payload,
a world-class automatic flight control system and long endurance, the H225M has
demonstrated its versatility and performance even in the harshest operational
environments.
The H225M is the
latest evolution of the successful Super Puma / Cougar family of military
helicopters, with more than 500 units delivered worldwide. Singapore is the
latest nation to order the H225M, after France, Brazil, Mexico, Malaysia,
Indonesia, Thailand, and Kuwait.
