Airbus highlighted the critical role of U.S. Coast Guard MH-65 helicopters in rescue operations during severe floods in Texas in 2025, showcasing their performance in extreme conditions. The helicopters were deployed to evacuate stranded residents as rising waters cut off access routes and overwhelmed local infrastructure.

During one operation near Kerrville, a Coast Guard crew successfully rescued 15 campers and assisted 169 others, navigating hazardous weather, low visibility, and difficult terrain. The mission involved prolonged flight operations, coordination with multiple aircraft, and complex landing and evacuation procedures.

Airbus emphasized the reliability and capability of the MH-65 platform in high-risk search and rescue missions, noting its importance in supporting emergency response and saving lives in challenging environments.
