The week of May 15 – 21 serves as National EMS Week where we honor the dedication of EMS practitioners nationwide. Every day these individuals are called upon to help others through possibly the most frightening times of their lives. We have the honor in supporting many of these life saving operations through the use of our aircraft. We recognize these operations as HEMS, and Bell aircraft are suited to provide optimal patient care administration while minimizing the time en route from an accident to a medical facility.
To celebrate this week, we are highlighting one of our customers, Air Methods, which recently celebrated the delivery of a Bell 407GXP to Air Methods. This is the first of many Bell 407GXPs expected over the next 10 years for Air Methods.
Air Methods began with a single Bell 206 and has since grown into the world’s largest air medical provider with more than 400 aircraft, 300-plus bases, and eight maintenance centers. The air medical company services 48 states and transports more than 100,000 patients every year.
About Bell
Thinking above and beyond is what we do. For more than 85 years, we’ve been reimagining the experience of flight – and where it can take us.
We are pioneers. We were the first to break the sound barrier and to certify a commercial helicopter. We were a part of NASA’s first lunar mission and brought advanced tiltrotor systems to market. Today, we’re defining the future of advanced air mobility.
Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas – as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Textron Inc., – we have strategic locations around the globe. And with nearly one quarter of our workforce having served, helping our military achieve their missions is a passion of ours.
Above all, our breakthrough innovations deliver exceptional experiences to our customers. Efficiently. Reliably. And always, with safety at the forefront.
