In February 2024, Niagara Helicopters placed an order for six Airbus Helicopters H130 to renew its air tourism fleet in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Airbus H130, C-GNND, is the first of the new helicopters and was registered to Niagara Helicopters on August 5, 2025 after completion by Airbus Helicopters Canada in Fort Erie, Ontario. The new H130s will replace four older EC130 T2s (C-GTZN, C-GTZO, C-GTZP and C-GTZQ) delivered in 2015 which replaced a fleet of Bell 407s. Helicopter Transportation Services (HTS) bought Niagara from Ruedi Hafen in 2012. Helicopter tours began in Niagara Falls in 1961.

Rainbow Air started doing helicopter tours of Niagara Falls with MD 500D helicopters out of a raised helipad in downtown Niagara Falls, NY in 1975. On July 3, 2025, the company unveiled its brand new Rainbow Air Tourism Center heliport and two new Airbus H130 T2 helicopters (N961RA and N962RA). The heliport is near Niagara Falls State Park and features an heated helipad for year-round operations, a spacious hangar, and a visitor-friendly terminal with flight simulators and helicopter exhibits including a Bell 204B/UH-1B cabin in US Army markings. An air tour is 8 to 10 minutes.

Established 1984, the University of Tennessee (UT) Medical Center LifeStar HEMS program is currently operating two EC135 and three Bell 407 helicopters from 5 bases strategially located in a circle around Knoxville. The bases and callsigns are: Morristown (UT Lifestar 1), Rockwood (UT Lifestar 2), Sevierville-Gatlinburg (UT Lifestar 3), Jacksboro (UT Lifestar 4) and Sweetwater (UT Lifestar 5). Little information is available where this brand new and stunning looking H130 will be based and which aircraft it will replace, and/or if more units are on order.
