European emergency aerial services provider Avincis has taken delivery of two five-bladed H145 helicopters from Airbus at its production facility in Donauwörth, Germany. These aircraft are destined for Stockholm, where they will reinforce Avincis' existing HEMS fleet operating in Sweden. These latest additions mark a continuation of Avincis' investment in advanced, mission-ready aircraft across its global network.

This follows the successful delivery of two five-bladed H145s in August 2024, one of which also joined the Swedish fleet, demonstrating a consistent and strategic approach to operational growth. Accepted in partnership with premier lessor, LCI, the two new helicopters join the existing Avincis-LCI portfolio, which includes a varied, global fleet of mission-critical aircraft. The Avincis global fleet currently includes around 60 Airbus aircraft, which are critical to delivering safe, reliable and consistent emergency aerial services across Europe, Africa and South America.

John Boag, Avincis Group CEO, says: “Today's deliveries reinforce our confidence in the global emergency aerial services market, giving testament to the longevity of our fleet strategy and the operational resilience of our teams. We are proud to offer our customers the latest technology and most up-to-date aircraft types to support their mission requirements. Building long-term, robust partnerships is key to the success of our business as it transforms into the world's leading emergency aerial services provider.”

Jaspal Jandu, CEO, LCI, adds: “We are proud to be growing our partnership with Avincis through the delivery of these latest generation H145 helicopters. We share a commitment to providing vital emergency medical services, and are confident these advanced aircraft will enhance Avincis' HEMS operations in Sweden and ensure patients have access to modern, reliable and well equipped aircraft when they need them the most.”

“We're proud that the H145 continues to play a vital role in strengthening Avincis' HEMS fleet and supporting critical, life-saving missions in Stockholm,” concludes Daniela Dudek, head of the H145 programme at Airbus Helicopters. “The five-bladed H145, with its high availability rates, compact footprint and the lowest CO2 emissions and acoustic footprint in its class, is perfectly suited for operating in the confined and urban areas often encountered in the Stockholm region.”
