Chinook Helicopters and Puma Helicopters: Operating Costs
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 28 April 2025 to Question 44502 on Puma Helicopters: Decommissioning, how much more it costs in monetary terms to operate a CH47 Chinook than a Puma over a month.
- Answer
-
It is not possible to provide comparable figures for different aircraft over a month. Operating costs associated with individual platforms are dependent on several variables, including the operational outputs delivered in any given month which would affect the flying hours and therefore cost to operate.
I can however confirm that the overall cost of operating a Chinook H47 is less than the cost of operating a Puma HC2.
