Life Flight Network acquires two Airbus H145s
The helicopters will support the air ambulance operator’s services across the USA
US-based air ambulance operator Life Flight Network has purchased two Airbus H145 D3 helicopters from Rotortrade.
The aircraft, configured for emergency medical services (EMS), will enter into service from September 2026.
Prior to launch, the aircraft will be customized with paint, night vision goggles (NVG) kits, FM radios, flotation equipment, and lighting upgrades.
“This transaction represents a major milestone for Rotortrade,” said Philippe Lubrano, CEO of Rotortrade. “It demonstrates our ability to penetrate the US EMS market with disciplined execution, strong relationship, and full life-cycle support.”
Life Flight Network also recently placed an order for 12 Pilatus PC-12 PROs.
