Nordic utility operators require a versatile helicopter that can perform a wide range of missions, and this order means Airbus distributor Østnes Helicopters can offer short delivery times.

The air medical service provider is expecting six H125s, five H130s, 14 H135s, three H145s and 15 Bell 407GXis to meet requirements for fleet expansion, and retains options for 32 more over the next three years.

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.
