The Department previously took delivery of four Airbus H125 in 2016. Its decision to place this new order reflects its satisfaction with the versatility and performance of the H125 in meeting its mission requirements.

The Ontario government has ordered three H135s for use by the police to fight auto theft and to keep communities safe; a welcome anniversary gift for Airbus in recognition of its 40 years in Canada.

The youngest member of ÖAMTC's Christophorus fleet was transferred to Innsbruck to get technical fittings, medical equipment and interior panelling. The H135 will then start extended hours operations.
