The flights to Japan are Narita “F-GSTC” in February 1999, Kansai International Airport & Kobe “F-GSTC” in December 2021, and Kansai International Airport & Kobe “F-GSTB” on May 10, 2023 last time. This is the 4th time. The “F-GSTC” that flew this time was a regular aircraft that was the third flight to Japan.
During the previous flight, two helicopters, the Super Puma 225 type[machine code: JA698A]and[JA699A]deployed at the Japan Coast Guard’s 10th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters, were transported. It has been announced that two Super Puma 225s will be installed on each of the two large patrol vessels “Asanagi” and “Yumihari” scheduled to be commissioned in 2023, and this flight seems to be related to that.
