The first three H175s delivered to Babcock did not have the necessary corrosion protection applied during the build process. All three machines were scheduled to go to Albacete in Spain to have remedial works carried out by Airbus, which takes approx 12 months. MCSE was the first to be completed. I believe MCSG has recently arrived in Albacete for the same treatment.
I hope Airbus is supplying Babcock (CHC) with a free backup aircraft to compensate for 3 cumulative aircraft years of downtime?
