Helicopter emergency medical services

Building on the worldwide use of Airbus’ H145 family in emergency medical services, the H145 is tailored for primary and secondary missions and intensive care transport – benefitting from the easy and safe loading and unloading of patients through wide side sliding doors and large rear clamshell doors.

Its spacious, unobstructed cabin was specifically designed to meet the requirements set by national medical regulatory agencies. The cabin accommodates one or two wheeled stretchers with partial or full suites of medical equipment for operation by three to five medical personnel. 

The H145 benefits from multiple EMS cabin interiors, which were designed in cooperation with leading EMS providers based on HEMS customer feedback.

The new Helionix suite allows safe and easy HEMS operation under challenging conditions.

The helicopter’s low external sound level allows neighborhood-friendly operations around hospitals and in urban areas. 

The new H145 is fast becoming one of the industry’s leaders for smooth flights, while it goes further with its improved ability to land in confined areas, thanks to a smaller D-value (the greatest dimension of a helicopter for helideck assessment).
