GDHF

GD Helicopter Finance, known as GDHF, is a helicopter leasing and finance company based in Dublin, Ireland. It leases and finances helicopters. Its stated vision is to build the best helicopter finance team and platform in the industry. The company puts customer focus, trust, integrity, excellence, speed and flexibility at the centre of its work.

The company offers four main solutions. An operating lease gives operators availability, a choice of technology, certain costs and flexibility, without the burden of owning the aircraft. A finance lease lets the operator own the aircraft at the end of the lease. Fleet renewal solutions replace older helicopters with newer and more efficient models. Restructuring gives custom financial solutions to reset payments, optimize the fleet and reduce costs.

GDHF's fleet is made of newer multi mission helicopters. The fleet includes four types: the Airbus H160, the Airbus H175, the Leonardo AW189 and the Airbus H225. The H160 is described as one of the most technologically advanced helicopters in its class. The H225 is a long range, all weather heavy helicopter with a large payload. The AW189 is described as a multi mission aircraft with strong payload and range.

The company delivered two Airbus H160 helicopters in June 2026. One H160 began European offshore energy missions with NHV Group that month. GDHF announced its acquisition of NHV in December 2025. It has also signed a finance agreement worth more than 125 million euros. A 2026 interview describes GDHF as being in its third year.

The senior leadership team includes a general counsel and a head of technical. Customers can contact the company through its website or by email. Recent news shows growth through new deliveries, an acquisition and a major financing deal.
