The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) has awarded a contract to the HTM Group for the maintenance and repair of the EC155 operational fleet of the German Federal Police.

Intercopter GmbH will carry out the majority of the services at the Taufkirchen site near Munich. In addition, the HTM Group’s development company, Advanced Aerospace Developments GmbH (AAD), might also provide services in the area of modifications and integrations, as an option part of the framework agreement.

As one of the largest operators of civil helicopters in Europe, the German Federal Police had these services for its entire EC155 fleet of 19 helicopters put out to tender via the NSPA (NATO Support and Procurement Agency) in the form of a multi-year framework contract.

The HTM Group was successful in this tender and will subsequently play an important role in the operational readiness of the “Bundespolizei-Fliegergruppe”, which is responsible for border surveillance, transporting police forces during large-scale operations, supporting the Federal Criminal Police Office and providing assistance in the event of serious accidents and disasters in Germany and abroad.
