Moroccan Royal Air Force has ordered a fleet of H135 helicopters for primary military training operations. The light twin-engine H135, a segment reference helicopter, will be used to train pilots for a variety of demanding duties such as utility and search and rescue, the company announced.
“We are proud that the Forces Royales Air have selected the H135 for their training missions. It is a reliable, cost-efficient multirole helicopter that is ideally suited to transitioning to more complex aircraft,” said Arnaud Montalvo, Head of Africa and the Middle East at Airbus Helicopters.
“We are sure that the H135s will be a great asset to their fleet and we look forward to bringing them the best support in cooperation with our strategic partner Heliconia with its entry into service in the country,” he added.
The deal also includes a comprehensive support package that includes the delivery of Flight Training Devices as well as the training of instructor and maintenance pilots. The training program will allow the Royal Moroccan Air Force to fully utilize the H135’s multi-mission capabilities, including NVG and winching.
The IFR-certified H135 is a proven benchmark for military training helicopters globally, with over 130 units operated by military agencies worldwide for training missions and more over 400,000 military training flight hours. This new purchase brings the global fleet to 12 military clients, including the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, and Japan.
The H135 is equipped with Airbus Helicopters’ cutting-edge Helionix avionics suite, enabling optimal safety conditions for basic and advanced mission training, as well as a platform for easy and safe pilot transition onto more modern helicopters.
