Content Body

European Heli Centre (EHS) has begun construction of its new helicopter training facility at Lelystad Airport, the Netherlands. Opening is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027.

A central element of the site will be the Reiser-built full-flight simulator, supporting students on the Airbus Helicopters H135 and H145. An agreement for this training aid was signed in March, preceding a joint project kick-off meeting at Reiser’s Bavarian headquarters in June. “We are proud to see this project advancing exactly as planned,” said Reiser simulation and training CEO Johannes Hain.

The Lelystad center “marks a major step in establishing EHS’s new European headquarters,” the company said. Augmenting existing sites in the Netherlands and Norway, it is designed to support multi-mission training for EMS, offshore, police, military, and commercial helicopter operators.

EHC is already working with operators and pilots to begin planning their future training requirements, including “planning customized training paths and logistical coordination to ensure a smooth transition once training begins in 2027,” it noted.
