New STARS helicopter on its way to Alberta

A critical air ambulance service in Alberta is getting a boost from the government in the form of a brand new helicopter. STARS Air Ambulance announced plans to replace its fleet of aging BK117s last year and now the provincial government is providing the life-saving organization with its first $13M Airbus H145. Officials say the addition of the new helicopter, scheduled to arrive in the spring, will reduce training and maintenance costs while enhancing pilot, patient and practitioner safety. &l
