Christoph Regensburg

Christoph Regensburg is an intensive care transport helicopter based in Regensburg that responds to medical emergencies and transfers critically ill patients between hospitals across Bavaria and neighboring areas. The aircraft carries advanced life support technology and can reach distant medical facilities in minutes that would take longer by ground ambulance.

The base was established as part of Germany's network of intensive care transport helicopters following the successful launch of Munich's pioneering air ambulance program in 1991. Expansion to additional Bavarian cities adopted the proven operational model from that initial service.

The helicopter crew maintains strong connections with local hospitals, developing protocols for efficient patient transfers across different medical institutions.

The crew includes specialized physicians, emergency paramedics, and technical staff who operate advanced life support equipment during flights. Operations continue in various weather conditions, though severe weather may occasionally prevent flights from launching or continuing.

The aircraft carries specialized medical systems including mobile heart-lung machines and incubators for transporting newborns in critical condition. These advanced technologies allow even the most fragile patients to receive continuous care during transport.
