Emergency medical services will be the first mission to enter into service for the H140. Major HEMS operators in the U.S. and in Europe \u2014 Global Medical Response, ADAC Luftrettung, \u00d6AMTC Flugrettung, Air Methods, Stat MedEvac, Metro Aviation, and DRF Luftrettung \u2014 signed orders and letters of intent for the helicopter.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe H140 was designed by customers for customers. Signing with some of the world\u2019s most prominent EMS operators shows that the H140 has hit the mark,\u201d said Bruno Even,\u00a0 CEO of Airbus Helicopters. \u201cI would like to thank our customers for placing their trust in Airbus. The essential missions they perform with our helicopters is a\u00a0 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,\u201d he added.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The H160 has started commercial offshore operations with operator PHI Aviation for Shell after an innovative route-proving programme. Brazilian operator Omni signed a multi-services HCare contract ahead of the start of operations for Petrobras. New York State Police will become\u00a0 the first law enforcement agency in the U.S. to operate the H160 after announcing an order for one H160 and three H145 helicopters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the Support and Services side, Westair Helicopters signed an HCare contract to support the entry into service of its H225 fleet for offshore energy missions in Namibia. GDAT, one of China\u2019s most prominent helicopter operators, has signed an HCare In-Service contract with Airbus to cover ten H225 helicopters that perform multiple missions such as emergency services and forest protection in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Airbus Helicopters also performed demo flights during VERTICON with an H175, H160, H145 and an H125 IFR aircraft using 30% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), underlining the company\u2019s ongoing commitment to use SAF whenever possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRESS RELEASE &#8211; Dallas, U.S., 13 March 2025 Airbus Helicopters wraps up the 2025 edition of VERTICON with<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,3034,6],"tags":[48,147,283,3069,150,135,145,1247,3035,3036],"class_list":["post-9192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-airbus-helicopters-news","category-verticon-2025-dallas-tx","category-world_news","tag-airbus-helicopters","tag-h125","tag-h130","tag-h140","tag-h145","tag-h160","tag-h175","tag-h225","tag-verticon-2025","tag-verticon-2025-dallas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dgualdo.it\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dgualdo.it\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dgualdo.it\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dgualdo.it\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dgualdo.it\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9192"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.dgualdo.it\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9192\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9194,"href":"https:\/\/www.dgualdo.it\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9192\/revisions\/9194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dgualdo.it\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dgualdo.it\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dgualdo.it\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
