Global Helicopter Services (GHS) is excited to announce a new contract with the European Defence Agency (EDA) to provide Civilian Tactical Air Evacuation (Airmedevac) services. This initiative supports the Belgian Defence deployment in Benin, further demonstrating our commitment to providing essential services in challenging regions.

In partnership with Sahel Aviation Services and Iqarus Medical, GHS has assembled a team of experts to deliver comprehensive Airmedevac capabilities. Our services will be available 24/7, featuring two Beech 1900D aircraft equipped to transport two stretcher-borne and six seated patients, each under continuous medical supervision.

Dominik Goldfuss, CEO of GHS, stated,

“We are profoundly honored to once again be selected by EDA for the Airmedevac services in Benin, thereby marking another significant milestone for GHS. I extend special congratulations to our startup team, whose dedication ensured our “On Time” mission readiness within the stringent timelines set by our clients. As we continue our collaboration with EDA and the Belgian Defence (BelDef), we remain committed to providing a service that is not only safe and cost-effective but also perfectly tailored to meet the demands of the mission.“
