Helicopters paid off as the OEM received more than 74 commitments for the H140.
Emergency medical services will be the first mission to enter service for the H140. Major HEMS operators in the U.S. and in Europe — Global Medical Response, ADAC Luftrettung, ÖAMTC Flugrettung, Air Methods, Stat Medevac, Metro Aviation, and DRF Luftrettung — signed orders and letters of intent for the helicopter.
“The H140 was designed by customers. Signing with some of the world’s most prominent EMS operators shows that the H140 has hit the mark,” said CEO Even. “I would like to thank our customers for placing their trust in Airbus. The essential missions they perform with our helicopters is a tremendous source of pride for everyone in the company. Verticon has proved to be a key moment in the year to connect with our customers and to celebrate what they do.”
The H140 production will be integrated into the H135 and H145 lines in the Donauwörth plant, and Airbus anticipates the ability to produce 40 aircraft per year.
With the first prototype having flown in June of 2023, Airbus plans on first deliveries to HEMS operators in 2028, with an ACH (corporate) version to arrive in 2030.
