Christoph 27

Christoph 27 is a rescue helicopter operating from Nuremberg Airport that provides rapid medical transport services. The aircraft is equipped with modern equipment and can reach patients across a wide service area.

The Deutsche Rettungsflugwacht established this helicopter service to address growing needs for rapid patient transportation in the Nuremberg region. The service became an essential part of the region's medical emergency network.

The helicopter represents Germany's commitment to modern medical emergency systems that combine aviation technology with medical expertise. Visitors can observe how rescue technology and medical professionalism work together to save lives.

The crew includes certified pilots, emergency physicians, and paramedics available depending on the season and time of day. Visitors should note that the helicopter can depart at any time for emergencies, so access to the airport is limited.

The helicopter serves not only as a transport vehicle but also as a flying intensive care unit where medical procedures can be performed during flight. This dual function allows critical patients to receive treatment while in the air.
