http://www.justhelicopters.com/Articles ... Couga.aspxHeli-One, a leading provider of helicopter maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services,
has signed an agreement with the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF)
to provide on-site intermediate/depot-level maintenance
on 12 Airbus AS532 Cougar helicopters and to support five additional aircraft in storage.
The agreement covers inspections and maintenance above the 750HR/2-year interval,
Makila 1A2 inspections,
corrosion prevention,
and support to the Operational Level Maintenance organization upon request.
Heli-One is staffing a facility at the RNLAF Woensdrecht Air Base
with project managers, technicians and support crew from Heli-One Poland.
The RNLAF benefits from Heli-One’s high level of AS332/532 maintenance expertise, which includes efficient service, industry-leading safety & quality, innovative problem solving, and extensive experience supporting military fleets.
Heli-One will support the RNLAF with inspections and maintenance through the end of the Cougar’s current expected service lifespan
in 2022, with a potential renewal through 2030.
“We signed a contract for base maintenance for our RNLAF Cougar helicopters with Heli-One.
Acknowledgements to the teams for all their preparations –
a true contribution to support the fleet,”
commented Air Commodore Richard Laurijssen.
The RNLAF also acknowledged,
“By signing this contract with Heli-One as sustainable partner
we reach a milestone towards the future life of the Cougars.”
