Content Body

The Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) and MRO provider Heli-One (Booth N4505) have signed an agreement under which Heli-One will provide on-site intermediate/depot-level maintenance on a dozen active RNLAF AS532 Cougar helicopters and five others in storage. The work includes inspections and maintenance above the 750-hour/two-year interval, Maikila 1A2 turboshaft engine inspections, corrosion prevention, and support to the operational level maintenance organization on request.


To fulfill the agreement, Heli-One Poland is providing project managers, technicians, and support crew to a facility at RNLAF Woensdrecht Air Base. Heli-One’s long-time experience with the AS332/532 enhances its capabilities to support the Cougars. British Columbia-based Heli-One is expected to support the RNLAF through the end of the Cougars’ suspected lifespan in 2022, and potentially through 2030.
