Avincis strengthens Swedish HEMS fleet with two new five-bladed H145s
The operator has received two five-bladed H145 helicopters from Airbus in Donauwörth, Germany, to enhance its HEMS fleet in Stockholm, Sweden
Avincis has taken delivery of two five-bladed H145 helicopters from Airbus at its production facility in Donauwörth, Germany. These aircraft are destined for Stockholm, where they will reinforce Avincis’ existing helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) fleet operating in Sweden.
This follows the successful delivery of two five-bladed H145s in August 2024, one of which also joined the Swedish fleet.
In partnership with lessor LCI, the two new helicopters join the existing Avincis-LCI fleet, which comprises a diverse range of aircraft used for essential operations worldwide.
Avincis currently operates approximately 60 Airbus helicopters across its global fleet, supporting emergency aerial services in regions including Europe, Africa, and South America.
John Boag, Avincis Group CEO, said: “Today’s deliveries reinforce our confidence in the global emergency aerial services market, giving testament to the longevity of our fleet strategy and the operational resilience of our teams.”
Jaspal Jandu, CEO of LCI, said: “We are proud to be growing our partnership with Avincis through the delivery of these latest-generation H145 helicopters. We share a commitment to providing vital emergency medical services and are confident these advanced aircraft will enhance Avincis’ HEMS operations in Sweden and ensure patients have access to modern, reliable and well-equipped aircraft when they need them the most.”
“We’re proud that the H145 continues to play a vital role in strengthening Avincis’ HEMS fleet and supporting critical, lifesaving missions in Stockholm,” added Daniela Dudek, Head of the H145 Program at Airbus Helicopters. “The five-bladed H145, with its high availability rates, compact footprint, and the lowest CO2 emissions and acoustic footprint in its class, is perfectly suited for operating in the confined and urban areas often encountered in the Stockholm region.”
