Australian aviation provider StarFlight has placed an order for three H145 helicopters to provide emergency helicopter services for the Ambulance Tasmania and Tasmania Police. The H145 fleet is set to enter into service in late 2027, with the aircraft performing missions across Tasmania.
The H145 fleet will be based in Hobart.
“This investment in the H145 helicopters represents a significant upgrade to our emergency air capabilities,” Ambulance Tasmania acting chief executive Michelle Baxter. “The multirole functionality of these aircraft will allow us to respond swiftly to a wide range of emergencies.”
Airbus Helicopters in Australia and New Zealand managing director Christian Venzal commented: “This aircraft order came at a time as we are expecting with a new parts distribution platform in Western Australia, enhancing our existing footprint in Queensland.”
