The Norwegian Government and NH Industries, along with the parent companies, have reached a settlement with all disputes between the parties relating to the Norwegian NH90 program are resolved.

In a statement issued by the Norwegian Ministry of Defense press release said “The settlement provides that NHI will take back all the delivered helicopters, eight of the 14 ordered, along with associated spare parts, tools, and mission-specific equipment from the Norwegian government.

NHI will pay the Norwegian Government an agreed cash amount of €305 million, in addition to amounts previously paid pursuant to bank guarantees amounting to approximately €70 million.

Norway cancelled the contract in June 2022, citing chronic delays, low availability, and maintenance issues, stating that the helicopters were unable to meet the requirements of the Norwegian Armed Forces. The contract was originally signed in 2001, with deliveries expected by the end of 2008, but only a fraction of the ordered helicopters were delivered by the time the contract was terminated. 

Norway had initially sought a refund of around €500 million, the amount paid under the contract, but this claim later grew to over €3 billion in damages and compensation. NHI had rejected Norway's claims as "legally groundless" and sought damages of its own. The dispute was set to go to the Oslo District Court, but the out-of-court settlement prevents the trial from proceeding. 

Norway is in the process of replacing the NH90s with six MH-60R Seahawk helicopters from the United States.
