The Czech police aviation service will receive new Airbus H145s after the country’s interior ministry signed a contract for 11 of the medium-twin helicopters. The police service will use the H145s for law enforcement, search-and-rescue, and emergency medical missions.

Currently, the Czech police operate a fleet of nine H135s, and the H145s will replace those. Powered by two Safran Arriel 2E engines and equipped with a four-axis autopilot and Helionix avionics, the H145 is “the quietest helicopter in its class, while its CO2 emissions are the lowest amongst its competitors,” according to Airbus Helicopters.
