French air ambulance service receives first privately owned Falcon 900EX
Airlec Air Ambulance introduced the Falcon 900EX in air medical interior configuration to its diverse fleet of aircraft
The Falcon 900EX is able to accomodate up to four ICU stretchers, which will allow clients to transport multiple patients in a cost effective and safe manner. Due to the size of the aircraft and its range, Airlec can now provide worldwide coverage without the necessity of fuel stops – increasing safety and comfort for its patients.
Paul Tiba, Managing Director, commented on the latest development: “We are absolutely thrilled to have added the Falcon 900EX to our already diverse and optimized fleet. Thanks to our global AOC coverage – which allows us worldwide operations including polar and war zone missions – we are now able to accommodate any request our clients might have. This is, of course, met with our can-do attitude and the well-known medical quality, care and excellence that the Airlec medical and aviation crews provide.
“As a French company, we are of course delighted that the aircraft was manufactured right here in Bordeaux, which is also Airlec’s home base, and was medically configured in Paris. This allowed us to tailor it to our exact needs. With the introduction of the Falcon 900EX, Airlec is now also able to operate its missions with a four-pilot crew, which allows for Airlec to maximize on-duty time without ever compromising on safety or regulations.
“We are especially proud that we can now offer a suitable, cost effective, premium aircraft for each type of request whether that pertains to turboprob, light jet, midsize, super midsize or heavy jet operations. The latest development is one of many to come and further underlines Airlec’s commitment to the highest standards in aeromedical aviation, innovation and continuous self improvement. We are determined to continue to strive for excellence.”
