H135s for German Army pilot training
Milestone Aviation has leased four Airbus H135 helicopters to ADAC Luftfahrt Technik for German Army pilot training, the company announced on 14 March.
Two aircraft have been delivered to ADAC in March 2018, while the remaining two are scheduled to be delivered in April and May 2018. All four aircraft have been sourced from Milestone’s light-twin order book with Airbus Helicopters.
The training will be delivered to the German Army by ADAC under an outsourcing model, where the customer accesses new technology without capital expense outlay. The four new H135 helicopters provided by Milestone are fully compliant with the German Army’s specifications.
Daniel Rosenthal, president and chief executive officer, Milestone said: ‘Milestone is pleased to partner with ADAC in providing a unique solution to the German Army, enabling the introduction of new technology aircraft in pilot training. We continue to believe that the lease solution combined with a skilled maintenance provider is a successful combination for government training programmes.’
