SUBANG JAYA: The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) will be terminating the service of all Nuri helicopters within five years, said RMAF chief Gen Tan Sri Ackbal Abdul Samad.
He said the helicopter service was phased out over the age of Nuri which has served more than 52 years and are obsolete as most of the components and spare parts are no longer in production.
“The government has decided to terminate Nuri because the cost of maintaining the helicopter is getting higher which made it difficult for RMAF to continue its operations.
