The French Ministry of Defence has published these data on the operational availability of different aircraft. In the last few years there has been a sustained effort to improve these rates. A specific department in charge of maintenance has been created (Direction de la Maintenance aéronautique), and a new type of contract signed with manufacturers. It is called "verticalised" and the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is responsible to keep a certain level of availability.

Note that the NH90 is missing. This helicopter has been plagued by availability issues in the last few years, and there are no signs of major improvement.
