The European Aero-Medical Institute (EURAMI) has awarded Commercial Airline Medical Escort (CAME) accreditation to the Dubai-based division of German emergency medical flight provider FAI Rent-a-jet. The approval announced on Monday supplements FAI’s approval as a EURAMI provider that was granted in early 2023.
The CAME endorsement confirms aeromedical flight operators to carry patients either seated in a cabin or on a designated stretcher. FAI’s Dubai operation is now the first private emergency medical flight provider in a Gulf Cooperation Council state to hold the EURAMI CAME accreditation. It is also the only European fixed-wing aircraft operator to receive both approvals in the region.
To earn CAME approval, operators have to complete at least 100 missions. They also have to show that they have suitably qualified staff, as well as the infrastructure and equipment required by EURAMI.
FAI's fleet of 10 aircraft includes a mix of Bombardier jets, including the Learjet 60, Challenger 604, and Global Express. Its team of 250 full-time employees is supplemented by 50 part-time physicians, nurses, and paramedics, and it operates maintenance facilities in Nuremberg and Berlin. The company specializes in providing air support in hostile areas for a major non-governmental organization.
