Eurocopter and the German air rescue organisation DRF Luftrettung signed a purchase agreement for 25 helicopters of the newest generation – the EC145 T2. This purchase makes the air rescue organisation Europe’s largest customer for this type of helicopter. With the purchase of these aircraft, the DRF Luftrettung will successively replace the BK 117s in its red-and-white helicopter fleet. The DRF Luftrettung is to put the first five aircraft into operation in 24-hour air rescue service in the window from December 2013 to the end of 2015. The helicopters, developed and produced at Eurocopter in Germany, comprise an order volume of close to €200m. The remaining 20 helicopters in this order are to be delivered in phases through 2022. All EC145 T2 helicopters ordered by the DRF Luftrettung will be produced in Donauwörth, Germany and delivered to the customer from there following final assembly.
