Airbus has delivered the first two of six H145 helicopters ordered by Swiss Air-Rescue Rega. The new H145s will replace Rega’s existing fleet of EC145s, which will be phased out by mid-2019. The first H145 is expected to be deployed at Rega’s Bern base in October. Over the last 15 years, Rega’s six EC145s have provided airborne medical assistance to approximately 60,000 patients.
