    Since 1981, our helicopters have flown more first-response missions than any other air medical program in the United States. To respond quickly and efficiently, our aircraft are medically-configured and strategically located throughout Louisiana. For extended medical transports, our fixed-wing aircraft go the extra mile, traveling anywhere across the continental United States. International flights can be pre-arranged by our staff utilizing a Learjet 35 aircraft. With Air Med Services, LLC, you can always count on expert medical care.

    The EC-135, newest of the fleet, is the only first response, 24-hour air ambulance helicopter in Louisiana with dual pilots that can fly in adverse weather, inland and offshore.  The EC-135 is equipped with:
