FAI continues to strengthen air ambulance offering with first civilian Global Express medevac conversion

Germany-based general aviation and air ambulance specialist operator FAI rent-a-jet Aktiengesellschaft (Flight Ambulance Intl.) is continuing to strengthen its medical evacuation capabilities as it undertakes the first ever conversion of a civilian Global Express aircraft into a medevac configuration. FAI has contracted Spectrum Aeromed, the US company dedicated to designing and manufacturing customised medical and air ambulance equipment for fixed and rotor wing aircraft, to develop and build a bespoke Intensive Care Unit (ICU). When completed it will be installed on the Global Express by FAI’s MRO subsidiary FAI Technik GmbH in Nuremberg. The newly equipped aircraft, which is currently undergoing a twelve month C-Check, installation of a new XRS-cabin, and other additional upgrades will be based at the FAI facility at Albrecht Dürer International. Airport, Nuremberg and is expected to enter service in its new configuration before the end of 2015.
