GMR boosts fleet with major Airbus helicopter order

Global Medical Response (GMR) has placed an order for 28 Airbus helicopters as part of its ongoing efforts to expand its air medical fleet. The order includes six H125s, five H130s, 14 H135s and three H145s, strengthening GMR's fleet and positioning it as one of the largest operators of Airbus helicopters in North America. This follows an earlier 2024 order of five Airbus helicopters, bringing GMR's Airbus fleet to nearly 200 aircraft.

In addition to these 28 helicopters, GMR has secured options to purchase an additional 23 new Airbus helicopters over the next three years. This order could also make GMR one of the first operators in North America to utilise the IFR-capable H125, further enhancing its capacity for safe, versatile medical operations in challenging conditions.

Daniel Sweeza, GMR's National President of Air Operations, highlighted the impact of this expansion on the company's mission:
