Big news! We are proud to announce our role as one of the North American launch customers for Airbus’s newly developed helicopter, built specifically for air medical transport. This aircraft was designed with direct input from our own pilots, clinicians and maintenance experts to meet the demands of lifesaving missions. It offers more space, smoother rides, improved safety features and better access for patient care. With 10 aircraft already in order, we are thrilled to bring this innovation to the skies in 2029. “Our involvement with Airbus from the earliest phases has been about ensuring every detail of this aircraft is aligned with the real-world demands of air medical operations,” said GMR Chief Operating Officer Ted Van Horne. #OneTeam #OneGMR

Our Air Evac Lifeteam and Med-Trans Corporation teams are proud to be the first and only air medical providers to bring plasma to every corner of Oklahoma. Full implementation is anticipated by the end of 2025, with this service equipping all air medical helicopters with the life-saving blood component, plasma, ensuring critical care is available at a moment's notice. This National Blood Donor Month, we recognize the vital role that blood donors play in saving lives, and we are committed to supporting our communities by providing essential resources when and where they are needed. “Being first in Oklahoma to offer this service is about more than innovation—it’s about equity,” said Francis Lewis, regional director for GMR. “For many rural residents, access to care isn’t a given. This initiative ensures that lifesaving interventions are available to everyone, regardless of where they live.” #OneTeam #NationalBloodDonorMonth
