Aircraft and bases

The fleet page lists two medical aircraft that the company owns: a Bombardier Learjet 45XR jet and a Pilatus PC-12 turboprop. The Learjet is described as suited to long international flights. The company picks the aircraft that fits the patient, the distance and where the aircraft is. Some trips are made by commercial flight or by ground transport instead.
