Supporting critical missions

Emergency medical services & rescue operations

The Airbus H145 is vital in Italy's diverse terrain for search and rescue, emergency medical services, mountain rescue and disaster relief. In times of natural disasters or major emergencies, Airbus helicopters provide essential support for damage assessment, transportation of personnel and aid, and evacuation efforts, proving indispensable to Italy's civil protection authorities.

Firefighting

When wildfires threaten communities and natural landscapes, Airbus helicopters' timeless champion, the H125 (for reconnaissance and light water bombing) is the preferred model. Heavier types in the Super Puma family (H215 and H225), are also deployed to combat blazes from the air, transport firefighting crews, and provide essential logistical support.
