Magyar Légimentő Nonprofit Kft.

Magyar Légimentő Nonprofit Kft. (MLN Kft.) operates air rescue missions within Hungary under the operational control of the National Ambulance Service (OMSZ). It holds ownership rights transferred to OMSZ, which manages the day to day dispatch and mission control of the service. The company is focused on providing emergency medical helicopter services for critical cases across Hungary.

MLN operates seven air rescue bases located in Budaörs, Balatonfüred, Marcali, Szekszárd, Szentes, Miskolc, and Debrecen. These bases serve as strategic points to cover a wide area of the country and allow rapid response for urgent medical scenarios. The helicopter bases in Szekszárd and Marcali were built recently as greenfield projects replacing previous bases in Pécs and Sármellék, and Miskolc base was rebuilt at its original site with government funding.

The fleet consists of nine state owned Airbus EC-135 P2+ helicopters. These light twin engine aircraft provide reliable and continuous availability for medical missions. The company follows European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations and Hungarian national laws to operate safely. MLN Kft. works under a contractual relationship solely with the Hungarian Air Rescue Public Benefit Foundation.

MLN helicopters respond about 3,000 to 3,500 times yearly. Typical missions cover serious road, industrial, and household accidents, as well as internal medicine emergencies including neurological crises and critically ill children. Crews are dispatched following a strict alarm protocol managed by OMSZ dispatchers. Their motto expresses their purpose: to bring hospital level care directly to the patient at the scene without delay.

The company’s mission is to provide the best possible emergency care for severely ill adults and children outside hospital settings, recognizing that time is critical. Their vision is to deliver high quality lifesaving onsite care to as many patients as possible across Hungary with no delay. MLN also provides educational resources and guidelines for patients and professionals.

MLN Nonprofit Kft. has built a strong operational framework supporting Hungarian air rescue, integrating advanced medical services with well maintained aviation infrastructure. Its long-term development is supported by government resources aiming to modernize and improve rescue capabilities across the country.
