The AW101 multi-role medium-heavy three-engine helicopter’s global fleet has surpassed more than half a million flight hours. With one leading operator exceeding more than 7,500 hours on a single aircraft, nearly 200 units are in-service today by over 10 customers in over ten countries worldwide, with aircraft on order currently including units for Norway and Poland. The global reach of the platform extends from North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, to the Asia-Pacific region.
The Royal Navy will be using its AW101 Merlin Mk2 helicopters to keep watch over the upcoming carrier strike group deployment and the surrounding seas, ensuring the ships and their crews are well protected from enemy submarines, surface ships, aircraft, and missiles. The AW101 Merlin Mk4 will also provide movement and transportation of people and supplies, in addition to amphibious air manoeuvre for ship to shore operations, if required.
