Powering Your Most Demanding Missions: The 2026 Super Puma Forum

When conditions are at their most extreme, the Super Puma family stands as the undisputed workhorse of heavy-lift operations. From high-volume aerial firefighting and rapid disaster response to high-precision utility operations, your missions demand absolute availability, peak performance, and uncompromising agility.

To support these critical operations, Airbus Helicopters and Safran Helicopter Engines are joining forces to host the dedicated 2026 Super Puma Forum: Firefighting & Aerial Work.

Giving the Floor to You: Collaborative Working Sessions

This forum belongs to you—the operators who fly, maintain, and rely on the Super Puma daily. Moving beyond typical one-way presentations, our primary objective is to give the floor to our operator community.

Through open exchanges, practical workshops, and interactive working sessions alongside engineering and support teams from both Airbus and Safran, you will actively shape the future of the platform. Together, we will tackle real-world operational challenges, streamline maintenance support, boost mission performance, and define the roadmap for crucial capabilities like weight reduction, night vision, and fleet repurposing.
