The acquisition adds three Airbus H135s and one H145 to Avincis’ fleet and provides an entry point into the offshore wind market, expanding its presence in the Nordics.

The aircraft will play a multi-functional role during its assignment with the fire service. Its mission scope will include SAR operations, particularly remote and hard-to-reach areas, as well as wildfire surveillance.

Two AW139s have been deployed to Greece and began operations on 26 July. Based in Rhodes, they have since been providing rapid-response HEMS coverage across both the mainland and surrounding islands.
