GD Helicopter Finance (GDHF) is pleased to announce signing an agreement to

acquire NHV group (NHV). GDHF aims to close the transaction, which is subject to

customary conditions, including regulatory approvals, in the first quarter of 2026.

GDHF CEO Michael York said: “This strategic acquisition creates huge synergistic

value, combining GDHF’s global helicopter leasing & finance capabilities together

with NHV’s strong market position and reputation as a premium European helicopter

operator and MRO”.

 

By linking GDHF’s global capabilities, existing helicopter portfolio and large OEM

order books of new technology multi-mission cost-efficient assets with the safety,

reliability and precision operations of NHV, GDHF will effectively improve its global

delivery and asset management capabilities. NHV will be greatly enhanced with

new technology cost-efficient helicopter fleet deployment capabilities to better

meet the need of customers. Together we will be able to expand choice, capability,

performance and value for our customers.

 

The newly formed group will be a multi-capability organisation, uniquely positioned

to provide innovative high-value bespoke solutions to serve the needs of a diverse

portfolio of customers across mission-critical helicopter industry sectors, including

Offshore Energy, Government, Maritime Services, Wind, Emergency Medical

Services (EMS), Search and Rescue (SAR), Parapublic, MRO and Training. GDHF and

NHV will maintain independent operations. GDHF will continue to serve customers

globally, while NHV will focus on operations in Europe and Africa
