Air Methods' Products Division Receives FAA Supplemental Type Certification for Improved Patient Loading System in Eurocopter EC-130 Helicopter

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DENVER, Mar 12, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
Air Methods Corporation
(Nasdaq: AIRM) today announced its Products Division has received FAA
Supplemental Type Certification (STC) on an improved patient loading system
for the Eurocopter EC-130 helicopter.
The improved system eliminates over 40 lbs. of weight while increasing
functionality and reliability over the existing system. The new system also
utilizes Air Methods standard patient litter, providing fleet commonality.
Additionally, the improved patient loading system has a low profile designed
to accommodate aircraft that require reduced loading heights or have limited
cabin clearance to ensure that loading ergonomics and en-route patient care
are optimized.
The first EC-130 aircraft equipped with this certified system was recently
delivered to Air Methods LifeNet Division in Augusta, Georgia. A second
aircraft is due for delivery in March to the LifeNet Division.
"This new product is a derivative of our successful Articulating Patient
Loading System (APLS), which is currently in operation in several aircraft
models throughout the world," commented Arthur Torwirt, Vice President of Air
Methods Products Division. "In addition to the EC-130, we are actively
pursuing the integration of this product into other airframes."
