Babcock will continue to provide HIOWAA with an Airbus H135 air ambulance helicopter outfitted with night vision goggles (NVIS) technology, maintenance, airworthiness management, highly trend pilots, and engineering, under the terms of the agreement. Flight hours will also be increased to 19 per day for full-time pilots.
