Avincis orders up to 15 Airbus H145 helicopters to expand European emergency services fleet

Avincis, Europe’s largest aerial emergency services operator, has signed an agreement with Airbus Helicopters for up to 15 additional H145 helicopters. The aircraft will be deployed mainly in the Nordic countries, Italy and Spain, supporting helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) as well as offshore transport missions.

The order forms part of Avincis’ fleet modernisation strategy and will strengthen its ability to deliver critical emergency response and specialised aviation services across Europe. CEO John Boag highlighted the H145’s reliability and performance in demanding environments, while Airbus Helicopters CEO Matthieu Louvot emphasised the aircraft’s versatility for both life-saving and offshore operations.

Avincis operates more than 220 aircraft with over 2,400 staff across Europe and selected international markets. The H145 is Airbus’ most successful light twin-engine helicopter, with more than 1,800 units in service worldwide and over 8.5 million flight hours logged. The model is known for its advanced avionics, four-axis autopilot, low noise levels and relatively low CO? emissions.
