Seeing an increasing demand for domestic and international air medical transport, Georgia-based medevac provider Medway Air Ambulance is adding three Bombardier Learjet 45s to its owned fleet of Learjet 35s. The larger cabin of the Learjet 45s will accommodate the equipment needed to handle neonatal transports, the company added.
Neonatal and pediatric medevac flights are one area of growth for the Part 135 operator, which claims to be a preferred air ambulance provider for top children’s hospitals. Medway also partners with travel assistance insurance plans to transport ill or injured patients—especially those traveling in the Caribbean, Mexico, and South America—back to the U.S. or Canada. The Learjet 45s will be staffed with two pilots and two critical-care clinicians and outfitted with ICU capability to treat adult and pediatric patients.
“We have positioned Medway for growth in both our domestic and international markets,” said Medway flight operations v-p Matt Kinney. “We have invested in the aircraft, equipment, and personnel to expand our reach and help more patients than ever before. With greater flight capacity, we can increase patient access to specialty care, rehabilitation facilities, and children's hospitals across the country.”
