Eurocopter announced it is withdrawing the Cougar from the NSH program in Canada they will concentrate resources on the NH90 . Changes to the definition that have increased the weight by 2000 kg means the cougar can no longer meet the missions required.

Funnily enough the Pumas flown by Cougar are owned by Canadian ( through helikopter services).Cougar fly the most hrs in known icing of any operator world wide.

Latest word from sources suggest some sort of take over or merger may yet happen with Cougar.. .. .Have heard everything from a deal falling through with Vancouver Island Helicopters and of late, with Canadian.. .. .Last on the list has PHI involved somehow.. .. .It would seem it's just a matter of time before Cougar transforms itself or becomes someone else altogether.
