EMS operator Inova AirCare is doubling its fleet of aeromed helicopters this month in an effort to increase service to residents of Northern Virginia and the fast-growing Northern Neck area. It will also open a second base in the area.

The Petroleum Helicopters operation is upgrading from a Bell 412HP to two 412SPs, which will be used full time on airborne intensive-care and hospital-transport missions. Acceptance of both helicopters is scheduled for month end. A third helicopter–a Bell 407–is also to be brought in as a backup during maintenance periods. The existing 412HP will be refurbished and sold.
