With the addition of four more H145s, we are strengthening our position as the operator of one of the largest H145 fleets in Europe and at the same time creating the conditions to position ourselves for the future. In addition, last year we took another important step towards being able to respond quickly and effectively to developments in the rescue service by deciding on the H140 and ordering ten new aircraft. This provides our crews with a fleet that enables them to save lives every day under the best possible conditions," said Krystian Pracz, CEO of DRF Luftrettung.

We are immensely proud that our helicopters serve as  reliable tools for their highly skilled crews, contributing every day to the vital mission of saving lives across Europe,” said Bruno Even, CEO of Airbus Helicopters.
