Military Aircraft: Helicopters
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of extending the operational lifespan of the Airbus H145 helicopter.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Airbus Helicopters H145 is in service as a training helicopter called the Jupiter HT1. This helicopter type is contractor owned, under the rotary wing flying training contract which runs until 2033. It would be for the contractor to manage the operational lifespan of the Jupiter airframes.
