German helicopter emergency medical services operator DRF Luftrettung and Airbus Helicopters have announced orders for up to 10 H145D3 helicopters (seven firm orders and three options).
The ordered helicopters will also be covered by DRF’s fleet-wide HCare Smart contract, parts-by-the-hour support.
“It is the mission of DRF Luftrettung to continuously improve medical care for people in need. With the new order of 10 additional H145s, we continue to ensure the optimal service for our patients by keeping the helicopter fleet as modern and flexible as possible for our life-saving missions,” said Dr Krystian Pracz, CEO of DRF Luftrettung.
“As an operator that deploys its fleet for emergency medical services, the DRF Luftrettung truly understands the importance that a helicopter’s performance can have in making a decisive difference in the care a patient receives. We are therefore very grateful for the continued trust that they place in our helicopters,” said Thomas Hein, Head of Europe Region at Airbus Helicopters. “We are proud to see that over the last decade, the H145 has become the backbone of DRF Luftrettung’s fleet, performing life-saving missions in Germany and Europe.”
