Airlift Takes Delivery of First Airbus H145 Helicopter

Airlift has taken delivery of its first Airbus H145 helicopter, becoming the first operator of this model in Greece.

Thanks to the high versatility of its cabin configuration, the twin-engine helicopter will mainly be dedicated to VIP transfers but can also be used for emergency medical transport and fire-fighting, if needed.

The new H145 will be the fifth helicopter to join Airlift’s Airbus fleet, which also includes H125, H130 and H135 family models.

“Having led helicopter operations in Greece for almost 20 years, we are very happy to be the first to introduce the H145 in the country,” said Alexandros Papadospyridakis, CEO of Airlift. “We appreciate the H145’s versatility to perform various types of missions, along with its spacious, comfortable cabin, which should be welcomed by our customers.”

The Airbus H145 incorporates an innovative Helionix avionics system and 4-axis autopilot. The aircraft's combination of speed and performance, along with its large cabin and rear-loading clamshell doors, makes it the aircraft of choice for a variety of civil missions worldwide.

“Airlift is a long-term partner for Airbus, and I am very honoured by their continued trust in our products,” said Henri Stell, Director of European Sales at Airbus Helicopters. "We believe that the H145, with its enhanced safety features, excellent availability rate and easy maintenance, will be an outstanding fit for Airlift to continue developing its aerial business.”
