Milestone Aviation Group has agreed long-term lease extensions with Air Center Helicopters for 11 Airbus H225 heavy-lift helicopters. The extensions will begin in May 2027 and run through June 2033, enabling the US operator to continue using the aircraft for government, utility and other mission-critical work in the United States and at strategic locations worldwide.
Air Center is the largest H225 operator in the Americas. The aircraft support a range of activities, including US government agency requirements, strategic programmes, expeditionary airlift, space-mission recovery and the transport of essential personnel.
The agreements cover helicopters already operated by Air Center rather than new deliveries or acquisitions. They allow the operator to retain the aircraft through existing contract commitments and beyond, maintaining continuity for missions that depend on heavy-lift capacity.
Financial terms, individual aircraft registrations, customer contracts and precise operating locations were not disclosed.
