Heli-Expo 2024: HealthNet Aeromedical Orders Four H135s

Besides inking deals with THC and DRF Luftrettung at the Heli-Expo 2024, Airbus has also bagged an order from Charleston-headquartered HealthNet Aeromedical Services. It is for four H135 helicopters, which will join the West Virginia-based company’s fleet of eleven Airbus-only aircraft comprising H130, H135 and EC145 choppers.

The H135 serves the emergency medical services sector well. Besides boasting a spacious and unobstructed cabin, the chopper has good range, payload capacity, low sound levels, oversized sliding side doors and rear clamshell doors.

HealthNet Aeromedical Services has operated only Airbus aircraft ever since the company came into existence approximately four decades ago. The Airbus H135 is a market leader in its category, with more than 700 specimens being used worldwide for life-saving missions. To date, Airbus has delivered over 1,500 choppers from the H135 family.
