Airbus Helicopters and emergency medical services provider Metro Aviation have signed a deal for up to 36 H140 helicopters.
The agreement includes an initial firm order for 12 H140s, with options for an additional 24 aircraft.
The H140 is specifically chosen for its EMS-friendly features, such as a high T-shaped tail boom, large clamshell doors, and rear-loading capabilities suitable for intensive care stretchers, with service entry planned for 2028.
