Nigerian Air Force Assembles First Two H125 Helicopters
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has completed the local reassembly of its first two H125 helicopters at the NAF Base in Ikeja, Lagos. This initiative is expected to strengthen the NAF's technical capacity and decrease dependence on external support for aircraft maintenance.
The helicopters were delivered by Airbus Helicopters and reassembled with assistance from technical personnel from the manufacturer. This exercise provided NAF personnel with practical exposure to the technical requirements necessary for supporting and maintaining modern rotary-wing platforms.
It also facilitated knowledge transfer between Airbus Helicopters and Nigerian military technicians. This development is part of the NAF's broader strategy to build technical self-reliance, improve fleet availability, and ensure that newly acquired aircraft can be effectively sustained throughout their operational life.
