Urban Aeronautics has agreed to provide Hatzolah Air with four of its CityHawk VTOL aircraft to be used for emergency medical service (EMS) operations. The companies have not specified the terms for the agreement announced on January 5 or confirmed the purchase price for the aircraft.

Israel-based Urban Aeronautics says it will complete type certification of the hybrid-powered CityHawk within three to five years so that operations could begin by 2025. The agreement, which builds on a memorandum of understanding signed in August 2020, also means that Hatzolah Air will be Urban Aeronautics’ sales representative and distributor for the EMS market.
