Zitat:New Zealand Opts for NH90s
New Zealand has selected the NH90 to replace its air force's fleet of 14 aging UH-1 Iroquois helicopters. Defense Minister Mark Burton said officials are still finalizing details on the final cost, number of aircraft and delivery dates, but the government will spend up to NZ$550 million ($389 million) for both the NH90 and a light utility helicopter to replace the Bell OH-13 Sioux.
Air Vice-Marshal John Hamilton, chief of the Air Force, said the NH90's selection "will step us into the next generation of helicopter" and provide "huge performance gains over the Iroquois that will enable greater weights carried further and much improved night and poor weather capabilities." The Air Force must continue supporting the Iroquois fleet for several years until the NH90s enter service." New Zealand is still working on the selection of a helicopter to replace the Sioux.
