Global Medical Response (GMR) has placed an order for 28 Airbus helicopters, including six H125s, five H130s, 14 H135s and three H145s, as part of the expansion of its air medical fleet.
Following GMR's order of five Airbus helicopters earlier in 2024, the company will operate a fleet of nearly 200 Airbus helicopters, strengthening its position as one of the largest operators of Airbus helicopters in North America.
In addition to the 28 aircraft ordered, GMR will have the option of purchasing an additional 23 new Airbus helicopters over the next three years.
' These additions reinforce GMR's commitment to providing high-quality medical care, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact the new helicopters will have on their operations. said Bart Reijnen, Head of North America for Airbus Helicopters.
