Frequently asked questions
How many rescue helicopter missions are there in Switzerland every year?
Rescue helicopters carry out around 20,000 missions across Switzerland every year. We often associate helicopter rescues with skiing holidays, summer mountain hikes or mountain biking. In these situations, air rescue crews save lives every day.
Helicopter pilots and their crews are there for you in cases of both accidents and illness. With population growth and the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disease, air rescue missions are also becoming more frequent in urban areas. When every second counts, air rescue is there for you.
