Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH (EFW) has successfully delivered the 7th NHIndustries NH90 transport helicopter as part of the ongoing maintenance program in Dresden. EFW, acting as a subcontractor of Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD), has obtained approval as a military maintenance organization under Germany’s new DEMAR-145 regulations.
Over the past two years, EFW has dedicated efforts to expand its NH90 maintenance capacities and streamline throughput times. In 2022 alone, four NH90s were delivered, and an additional three helicopters were handed over to the Bundeswehr in the first half of 2023. These deliveries included transport to the International Helicopter Training Center in Bückeburg. Notably, EFW has significantly reduced throughput time, demonstrating enhanced efficiency in recent maintenance work and the completion of the 7th NH90.
