NH Industries (NHI) and the Hellenic Ministry of National Defence have signed a follow-on support contract for Greece’s NH90 helicopter fleet, reinforcing the long-term operational readiness of this critical military capability. Valued at €50 million, the agreement establishes a comprehensive support ecosystem designed to significantly improve fleet availability over the next five years.
Under the terms of the contract, NHI will provide spare parts, maintenance and associated support services for the Greek NH90 fleet. The structured, multi-year approach is intended to enhance predictability, reduce downtime and ensure sustained operational performance, enabling the Hellenic Armed Forces to maximise the value of their NH90 investment.
The NH90 Tactical Transport Helicopter (TTH) is a highly capable, multi-role military platform designed to operate in the most demanding environments. Its spacious and adaptable cabin can be rapidly reconfigured to meet diverse mission requirements, including the transport of up to 20 fully equipped troops, the installation of 12 MEDEVAC stretchers, or the carriage of internal cargo via a full-width rear ramp.
Technologically, the NH90 TTH sets industry benchmarks. It was the first production helicopter to feature a 100% fly-by-wire flight control system, delivering superior handling qualities and enhanced safety. The helicopter’s fully composite airframe provides exceptional strength, corrosion resistance and reduced maintenance demands, while its advanced avionics suite ensures full mission capability by day or night and in adverse weather conditions.
Thanks to its versatility and interoperability, the NH90 TTH is the platform of choice for armed forces seeking a single helicopter type capable of performing troop transport, special operations, combat search and rescue and general utility missions. Globally, more than 530 NH90 helicopters have been delivered to military operators, collectively accumulating in excess of 500,000 flight hours, underscoring the maturity and operational credibility of the programme.
