Norwegian Air Ambulance has signed a frame contract with Airbus for up to eight H145 helicopters, beginning with a firm order for two. The deal continues the organisation’s fleet modernisation as it remains Norway’s chosen emergency medical helicopter provider.
The H145 is praised for its quiet operation, low CO? emissions, and cost efficiency, making it well-suited for life-saving missions in Norway’s demanding environment. Norwegian Air Ambulance already operates a fleet of 20 Airbus H135 and H145 helicopters and was the first in the world to receive the five-bladed H145 in 2020.
Airbus’ latest H145 model features a simplified rotor system that increases payload, reduces maintenance needs, and enhances comfort. With more than 1,750 H145 family helicopters in service globally, it is a proven platform in emergency medical services, where Airbus holds over half the global market share.
