SHUBENACADIE, Nova Scotia — Airbus Helicopters has delivered the final of four H125 aircraft to the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSDNR), successfully concluding the province’s fleet renewal programme. Ordered in 2024, the new aircraft replace a previous fleet that entered service in 2016. The modernised fleet will support critical provincial missions, including wildfire response, search and rescue, aerial surveillance, and emergency and personnel transportation in remote areas. …To meet NSDNR’s specific operational needs, the helicopters feature Canadian-designed supplemental type certificates and specialised mission equipment. This includes high-visibility doors, cargo pods, longline capability, cargo mirrors, an enlarged floor window, a cable cutter, a litter kit, and an optimized utility panel.
