AirCARE1, a US Part 135 air ambulance provider, is transitioning its fleet to the Learjet 60. This upgrade reinforces the operator's commitment to providing the highest standard of care and comfort for patients during air ambulance transport.

In recent years, AirCARE1 has focused on upgrading its fleet to the Learjet 60, a highly regarded and reliable aircraft. With its latest purchase of a new Learjet 60 and the sale of its Learjet 35, the fleet is now entirely equipped with this advanced model. By standardising operations around this aircraft, AirCARE1 aims to provide exceptional service and support to all patients, ensuring high-quality care and comfort on every flight.

“Streamlining our fleet to the Learjet 60 allows us to operate more efficiently and provide optimal support for every patient,” says Denise Waye, president of AirCARE1. “The new aircraft completed its first mission last week and performed beautifully. We are thrilled to be exclusively working with these aircraft.”

AirCARE1 selected the Learjet 60 for its excellent safety record, performance capabilities and luxurious interiors. Focusing exclusively on this aircraft type enables the company to enhance its service offerings and better meet the diverse needs of its patients.

The Learjet 60 boasts cruise performance at elevation up to 43,000 ft. Its speed facilitates rapid medical transport in critical situations. With a range of 2,350 nm, the aircraft provides nonstop service from coast to coast, ensuring timely care. Its five-hour flight duration allows for efficient long-distance transport, giving quick access to essential medical services. Notable features include a spacious, full stand-up cabin that maximises comfort and accommodates family members. Additionally, the inclusion of a lavatory adds convenience for passengers on longer flights.

AirCARE1's aircraft function as airborne intensive care units, equipped with the latest medical technology to ensure care from origin to destination. The design prioritises patient care and comfort, enabling a highly skilled medical team, comprising a nurse and paramedic to deliver superior medical attention while ensuring a smooth transport experience.
