Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ and WZL 1 join forces to boost helicopter support and training for the Polish Armed Forces

We’ve signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Wojskowe Zakłady Lotnicze No. 1 (WZL 1) to explore the development of a joint sustainment and support centre for the Polish Armed Forces’ helicopter fleet, alongside a technical training centre designed to enhance operational readiness and long-term capability.

The announcement follows the Strategic Cooperation Agreement signed earlier this month at MSPO in Kielce between Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa SA and Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ to expand collaboration across sea and air domains.

Together with WZL 1, an operating company which is part of Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa SA, we’ll work to develop a solution that will ensure that the Polish industry can independently maintain and support modern helicopters, while also training technical personnel to the highest standards.

Pierre Basquin, CEO of Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­â€™s Aviation Sector, said: “A fully prepared and ready to deploy  helicopter fleet, plays a central role in Poland’s national and international security and together with WZL 1 we will deliver operational excellence and offer a competitive solution that will support Poland’s growing defence capabilities.

“This partnership marks a significant step forward in strengthening Poland’s defence autonomy and we are proud to work with WZL 1 on this exciting opportunity.â€

We’re proud to be building on our established presence in Poland where we operate as Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ Polska from Gdynia and Warsaw, working closely with the PGZ-Miecznik consortium as the platform design provider and technology partner for Poland’s Miecznik shipbuilding programme.
