The Norwegian Air Ambulance has placed an order with Airbus for three H135s and two five-bladed H145s at EUROPEAN ROTORS for use in HEMS missions in Denmark.
The agreement also covers an additional two new H145s expected for delivery in 2024, contributing to Norwegian Air Ambulance’s fleet expansion in Norway.
“I would like to thank the Norwegian Air Ambulance for its continued trust in our helicopters to support their essential life-saving missions,” said Thomas Hein, Head of Europe Region, Airbus Helicopters. “Representing more than 1,100 of the 2,700 helicopters deployed for HEMS operations across the globe, it is a genuine source of pride to see that the H135 and the H145 are the benchmark for those missions worldwide, making a positive difference to people requiring urgent medical care.”
“The H135 and the five-bladed H145 have proven to be very versatile and suitable helicopters for our HEMS operations,” added Leif Olstad, CEO of Norwegian Air Ambulance. “With the new helicopters, we will continue to serve the people of Denmark and Norway with state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the best service possible.”
