The Original

The EC 145 multi-role helicopter has been jointly developed by Eurocopter and Kawasaki Heavy Industries of Japan. The EC 145 is a development of the Eurocopter / Kawasaki BK 117 C-1 with increased take-off weight and cabin volume. The helicopter is designated the BK 117 C-2 in Japan. The EC 145 completed its first flight in 1999.

The first two customers for the EC 145 were the French Sécurité Civile, the French civil defence and emergency preparedness organisation, which placed an order for 32 EC 145s in December 1997, and the French Gendarmerie which placed an order for eight helicopters in 1999.

The first EC 145 was delivered to the Sécurité Civile in April 2002 and deliveries were completed in May 2005.

Deliveries to the Gendarmerie began in December 2002 and concluded in 2006. Gendarmerie helicopters are being chiefly used for mountain rescue. A further seven helicopters were ordered for the Gendarmerie in August 2006, for delivery in 2007/2008. The Sécurité Civile ordered an additional five helicopters in December 2007.

Orders have been received for a total of 95 aircraft, of which 75 have been delivered.

Five helicopters are in service with the REGA air rescue organisation of Switzerland. Other operators include ADAC Air Rescue, Deutsche Rettungsflugwacht (DRF) and the Hesse state police of Germany. In April 2004, the first EC 145 was delivered to a customer in North America, Lee County Emergency Medical Services in Florida.
