Rex subsidiary Pel-Air Aviation has commenced operations for the NSW Ambulance Air Ambulance fixed wing service with a fleet of new aircraft. The five new aeromedical Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft were delivered between December 2020 and June 2021. They underwent modifications in New South Wales with Pel-Air’s subcontractor, Total Aerospace Solutions, to meet the requirements of NSW Ambulance.
The aircraft have all been prepared for the 24/7 critical care and complex mission requirements of NSW Ambulance across multiple areas. These include standard patient transfers, newborn and paediatric emergency transport service operations, extra corporeal membrane oxygenation operations, intra-aortic balloon pump operations, bariatric patient operations, over-water aeromedical transfers, and major incident responses.
Pel-Air is one of Australia’s most trusted fixed-wing air ambulance providers, having already been the incumbent contractor for the Victorian State government for the past ten years.
