HALO-Flight Elevates Mission Readiness with Final Bell 407GXi Delivery

October 29, 2025

At HALO-Flight, our mission is clear — to deliver rapid and lifesaving aeromedical transport to the Coastal Bend and South Texas region. We’re proud to share an exciting milestone in our operational capability with the arrival of the final Bell 407GXi helicopter in our fleet. This addition completes our transition to a fully standardized fleet, enhancing safety, efficiency, and continuity for the patients we serve.

Why the Bell 407GXi Matters

The Bell 407GXi represents the latest in rotor-wing innovation. With advanced avionics, IFR capability, improved performance, and proven reliability, it sets the standard for modern HEMS operations. By standardizing our helicopter model, HALO-Flight can now

• Maintain a uniform fleet, simplifying maintenance, pilot training, and parts logistics
• Take advantage of enhanced IFR instrumentation that allows us to operate more reliably in challenging weather
• Deliver consistent, mission-ready performance across South Texas
• Strengthen crew familiarity and confidence, ensuring our focus remains on patient care when every minute counts

A Strategic Step Forward

This final Bell 407GXi marks the completion of a multi-year modernization plan designed to unify our helicopters and elevate operational safety. Standardizing our fleet allows every member of the team — from maintenance technicians to flight crews — to work with shared training, procedures, and tools that improve readiness and efficiency.

Benefits for Our Patients and Partners

For referring hospitals, first responders, and families, this achievement reinforces one key message: HALO-Flight is always ready. Whether it’s a critical care flight from a rural facility or a pediatric transport to Driscoll Children’s Hospital, our fleet and team are optimized for reliability, safety, and care.

Looking Ahead

This milestone represents more than a new helicopter — it reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence. As our fleet becomes fully standardized, HALO-Flight continues to invest in training, data-driven safety initiatives, advanced medical equipment, and strengthened partnerships across South Texas.

We thank our community, hospitals, crews, and supporters for helping make this achievement possible.
When every second matters, HALO-Flight’s unified fleet ensures faster response, smoother missions, and better outcomes.
