AirMed International announced that it has added a medically\nconfigured Hawker 800XP aircraft to its Birmingham, Ala. base. The dedicated\nmedical transport aircraft joins two other AirMed owned and operated Hawker\njets based at Birmingham International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The addition of this dedicated medically equipped\naircraft demonstrates our commitment to reinvesting in our airborne assets and\nexceptionally trained medical and aviation personnel,” said AirMed\nInternational President Denise Treadwell. “We are making these added\ninvestments so that we can continue to provide the highest quality medical care\nto our patients, and AirMed International members.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hawker aircraft joins a fleet of medically-configured\nBeechjets, and King Airs based at AirMed’s locations in San Antonio, Texas, and\nLas Vegas, Nevada. The strategically located air medical bases allow AirMed to\ndeliver bedside-to-bedside transportation for patients in the U.S., as well as\ninternationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aircraft, which will go into service this month, is\noperated by a two-pilot crew and flies with highly trained and experienced\nmedical staff consisting of a registered nurse, respiratory therapist, and, if\nneeded, a medical doctor. The Hawker also features a fully configured cabin for\nfar-ranging medical transports and an onboard liquid oxygen system, which\neliminates the need to replenish onboard oxygen supplies for the transport of\nventilator-dependent patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, AirMed provides timely high level\npoint-to-point patient care for non-emergency transports by utilizing a fleet\nof four dedicated Learjet 35\/36 aircraft. AirMed’s floating fleet model allows\nexcellent flexibility for domestic missions by eliminating empty leg mileage\nand reducing overall flight time to reach patients on a two-hour call out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AirMed is the preferred fixed-wing air medical\ntransportation provider for many of the top hospitals in the United States,\nincluding the world-renowned Mayo Clinic. It is also a contracted air carrier\nfor the U.S. Department of Defense and has flown U.S. Presidents and countless\nheads of state. AirMed is medically equipped for virtually every critical care\nscenario, regardless of patient age or location throughout the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
