German commercial jet fleet operator FAI rent-a-jet AG has announced a one-year public tendered contract to operate two Learjet 60s out of Algiers, Algeria for medevacs and other missions. The company recently took delivery of a new Learjet 60, bringing its total count of Learjet in its fleet up to 11. The new aircraft will be used to support operations in Algeria, says FAI.
Volker Lemke, head of FAI´s air ambulance division, said: “We are proud that our significant expertise on the African continent has been recognised with the selection of FAI for this work. It demonstrates our strength in this field and strengthens FAI´s position as a leading player in patient transport by air ambulance.”
Operations for the new contract will begin before the end of the year with two aircraft and operating crew setting up a base in Algiers.
