On their new revamped web theres nothing mentioned about the MD-500E and AS-365N that they have but mentioned buying MD-902s.
Does anyone know what happened to their MD-500E and AS-365N?

I went and did a story on them a while ago but from what I heard from their ex Chief Pilot they decided to discontinue the civil ops there and have gone back to using the 500E and Dauphin for the owner.

Hi Ned
Yep i have that issue of HeliOps as I am a continuous subscriber!!:ok: Thats why I asked the question.
So what civil helicopter operators in Kuwait? We don't exactly count Kuwaiti Police EC-135. Or just offshore types passing through from say CHC or Bristows or Heli Union?
Speaking of which, have you got any pics of Kuwaiti police EC-135?

Nothing of the Kuwaiti Police helos yet, but planning on going there hopefully before the end of the year.
From what I understand they are getting some S-92s over there but they are for the Emir and his son as well. Only other "private" machines there are the 430 the Royal Flight has and a 407 I saw in the hangar but that was an N registered machine.
