The government is pushing ahead to deploy its new Black Hawk helicopter fleet.
In July, a Taipan helicopter crashed during a joint military exercise, killing four Australian aircrew.
“The first of the 40 Black Hawks that will replace the MRH-90 have arrived and are already flying in Australia. We are focused on seeing their introduction to service as quickly as possible,” Marles said in a statement. Norway last year said it would return the NH90 military helicopters it ordered from NHIndustries because they were either unreliable or delivered late, in a decision the manufacturer called “legally groundless”.
