Pel-Air, a subsidiary of Australia's independent regional and domestic airline Rex, has taken delivery of the second of five Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft for the NSW Air Ambulance Service, commencing operations in January 2022. The first aircraft was delivered in November 2020.
The King Air 350, with serial number FM-92, has been registered as VH-AAS. The aircraft arrived at Shellharbour Airport, NSW on March 15, after departing from the U.S.A. the week before.
The aircraft will undergo modifications locally, as Pel-Air progresses its preparations for the start of operations at the Mascot base in January 2022. Pel-Air is one of Australia's leading fixed-wing air ambulance providers, having already been the incumbent contractor for the Victorian State government for the past nine years.
