Christoph 31, Rescue helicopter in Berlin, Germany
Christoph 31 is an EC-135 rescue helicopter operating from Berlin-Tempelhof airport, equipped for medical emergencies and advanced life support functions. The aircraft is crewed by trained medical staff and pilots ready to respond quickly to urgent calls across the city.
The helicopter was established to transform emergency response in Berlin and has since completed tens of thousands of missions. Its creation marked a turning point in how quickly and effectively rescue services could reach patients across the region.
The helicopter carries a name rooted in the German tradition of naming rescue aircraft after Saint Christopher, reflecting the country's established approach to air rescue operations. This naming custom connects the service to a wider heritage of emergency aviation in the region.
The aircraft undergoes daily maintenance and readiness checks to keep all systems operational. During bad weather or high winds, flights may be limited, so checking conditions before important plans is helpful.
The helicopter is connected to a network of hospitals, ground rescuers, and emergency services that ensures coordinated patient care. This system allows faster decisions about the best receiving hospital and most appropriate treatment before arrival.
