7% mehr Einsätze als 1996 flogen die Rettungshubschrauber in Deutschland. Interessant die Tatsache, daß die Zahl der transportierten Patienten sogar um annähernd 10% gestiegen ist. Bei 57.699 Einsätzen der Primärrettungs-Hubschrauber wurden 50.995 Patienten transportiert. Auffällig ist, daß die Schere zwischen Einsatzzahl und Patienten, je nach Einsatzgebiet, Schwankungen unterliegt; so hatte Christoph 70 Jena, nur bei elf von 900 Flügen keinen Patienten an Bord. Dagegen flog Christoph 31 Berlin bei 1.770 Einsätzen 536 mal ohne Patienten.
