Reja Savbäck, Head of Marketing and Business Development stated: ”This partnership presents a valuable opportunity to enhance our service to customers. As specialists in helicopter sales, we are dedicated to understanding the unique needs of each operator.  With the growing global demand for HEMS applications, we are excited to integrate Bucher’s innovative equipment solutions into our offerings.  Our commitment to client focus and excellence drives us to continuously evolve and strengthen relationships with existing and future clients. We believe in shared values of integrity, innovation, and collaboration, each essential to delivering superior solutions in the helicopter market.  Together, we aim to not only meet but exceed client expectations, shaping the future of the industry with cutting-edge technology and unparalleled service.”

Bucher Leichtbau is celebrated for its flexible, high-performance interiors, designed to meet the unique needs of private helicopter operators. Unlike government or foundation-run services, these operators often prioritise versatility to maximize aircraft usage across a range of missions—from HEMS and VIP transport to law enforcement, cargo, firefighting, and military roles.  Bucher’s adaptable solutions, including the AC70 flex (for Airbus H145) and AC67 flex (for H135), give operators the agility to switch configurations effortlessly, ensuring they are always prepared for the next mission.

Bucher’s renowned quick-release interior system, deployed across helicopters operating in demanding environments worldwide, enables swift and seamless reconfiguration from VIP to alternate mission setups for both new and pre-owned helicopters, in minimal time. This flexibility empowers operators to adapt quickly to diverse mission requirements, enhancing efficiency and operational readiness, while ensuring they can maximize the capabilities of their fleets.

Bucher’s Helicopter Interior Solutions are specifically designed to meet the complex needs of operators across various sectors, including EMS, law enforcement, military, and multi-mission private helicopters. 

At European Rotors Stand 3073, Bucher is showcasing a typical emergency-equipped interior with rotating paramedic seats, medical storage, patient trolleys, and oxygen tanks, underscoring its commitment to functionality and rapid configurability.

The collaboration between Savback and Bucher Leichtbau marks a significant advancement in serving clients worldwide. By combining their strengths, the partnership is poised to offer global comprehensive support for both new and pre-owned aircraft, ensuring operators have access to solutions that best meet their needs.
