Press releases

Airmedic is proud to be the main partner of the First Nations Expedition, providing helicopter medical coverage for the 60 participants departing tomorrow. Supported by a helicopter configured exclusively for medical transport, two teams of pilots trained for instrument flight (IFR) and equipped with night vision goggles, along with a flight nurse and a flight paramedic, will take turns responding to emergency evacuation needs.
Airmedic is proud to announce the construction of a new hangar dedicated to air medical transport at Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB). This new facility is part of the company’s development plan and will increase its operational capacity as well as its air and helicopter medical transport services. This initiative will help meet the growing demand for air and helicopter medical transport.
Airmedic used its presence at the Snowmobile and Quad Show to announce the acquisition of four BK117 helicopters, strengthening its ability to operate across all regions of Québec. As a result, Airmedic’s fleet is expanding from two to six helicopters. These aircraft are configured exclusively for medical transport and will effectively support the growing demand for emergency interventions.
Expedition First Nations is proud to announce that Airmedic is becoming its main sponsor and will contribute to the safety of participants throughout the journey, which will begin in Manawan and end in Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam. From February 16 to March 4, 2023, a helicopter equipped for emergency medical operations will be deployed to cover the expedition along the entire route. Expedition First Nations involves more than 55 participants who aim to travel 4,600 km by snowmobile across the vast ancestral territory of the First Nations.
The community of Opitciwan and Airmedic are proud to inaugurate the Opitciwan Masko helipad, which will enable more efficient helicopter medical transport for community members. Several medical helicopter transports have been carried out in the community in 2022. The number of interventions has been growing in recent years in communities, and the helipad allows for safe and efficient operations both day and night.
Airmedic CEO Sophie Larochelle acknowledges the Coalition Avenir Québec's promise to establish a national air medical transport (AMT) program, including the construction of hospital heliports. She is delighted that another step has been taken toward the implementation of a pre-hospital emergency and inter-hospital service accessible to all Quebec citizens.
After a two-year hiatus, Montreal will once again be buzzing with Formula 1 excitement from June 17 to 19. Once again, the organizers of the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix have turned to Airmedic and the qualified staff at Sacré-Cœur Hospital in Montreal to ensure maximum safety for race car drivers and the general public, provide critical care, and provide emergency medical transport by air.
Airmedic welcomes the new policy on prehospital emergency services (PES) introduced by the Minister of Health and Social Services, but would like to see the integration of a prehospital system and an interhospital helicopter transport structure that can adequately respond to the reality of medical transport in Quebec, particularly in remote areas, as part of the government's priorities.
Airmedic is proud to serve the people of Quebec as a complementary service provider for the Quebec government under the contract for scheduled aeromedical evacuation services for the health regions of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Nord-du-Québec, and the Cree lands of James Bay.
