U.S.-Based Airbus Helicopter Operations

Airbus Helicopters, a global leader in high-performance helicopters, has announced a new partnership with a leading American hospital network. This strategic move is part of Airbus Helicopters' efforts to expand its presence in the American market.

The partnership aims to enhance air medical services in several key regions across the United States. Airbus Helicopters specializes in civil operations and has a strong presence in the US, offering several specific models for various civilian roles.

Airbus Helicopters' Models for Civil Operations

The key models include the H125, H130, H135, H145, and H140.

  • The H125, a single-engine turbine helicopter, is widely used in commercial utility roles, tourism, and air medical missions. It typically holds up to five passengers.
  • The H130, another single-engine model, is favored for its comfort and excellent visibility, beneficial in sightseeing and VIP transport. It can accommodate up to seven passengers.
  • The H135 (formerly Eurocopter EC135) is a twin-engine light utility helicopter extensively used in air medical transport, law enforcement, and corporate transport. It supports instrument flight rules (IFR) and features advanced digital automatic flight controls.
  • The H145 is a twin-engine medium utility helicopter used for law enforcement, firefighting, and air medical services. It provides advanced technology and versatility.
  • The H140, a newer model, has recently been added to EMS fleets in the U.S. and is intended specifically to support emergency medical services with advanced capabilities and improved performance.

These helicopters are actively employed by air medical operators, law enforcement agencies, tourism companies, and business transport services across the US, supported by Airbus Helicopters' local training and maintenance infrastructure located in Texas.
