The first NH90 Tactical Transport Helicopter (TTH) built in Spain has been delivered to the Spanish armed forces by NHI from Airbus Helicopters’ Albacette facility.

The NH90 will replace a number of older generation helicopters in Spanish service, and will be used to conduct a range of tactical troop transport, Search and Rescue, personnel recovery and medical evacuation missions.

Xavier Poupardin, delegated managing director, NHI, said: ‘This delivery is the proof that the NH90 is not only the best helicopter in its class to modernise the Spanish armed forces, but it is as well a true industrial partnership creating skilled jobs in Spain.

‘The Spanish NH90 programme is the result of an excellent cooperation between industry and the Spanish Ministry of Defense, the Spanish Ministry of Industry with the support of the Directorate General of Armament and Equipment (DGAM).’

NHI and Airbus Helicopters España will supply a total of 22 NH90 helicopters to the Spanish armed forces under a delivery schedule that continues through to 2019.
