European Heli Center (EHC) has signed a contract with Reiser Simulation and Training to install an H135/H145 Level D full-flight simulator at its new Lelystad Airport training centre.

Reiser’s simulator will allow seamless training for both helicopter types using a roll-on/roll-off system. The facility, set to open by late 2026, will serve civilian, commercial, military, offshore and EMS pilots.

Located near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, the centre offers easy international access. EHC has also partnered with Bristow Helicopters of Nigeria, making Bristow a key user of the H135 simulator.

“We are delighted to partner with EHC in its ambitious endeavour to create a world-class training centre,” says Reiser's CEO, Dr. Johannes Hain. “The contract marks another milestone in our history as Europe's renowned manufacturer of helicopter full-flight simulators. With this agreement, we further strengthen our market position, expand our market share and consolidate our leadership in the aviation training industry.”
