Aircraft

For air ambulance missions SkyCare selects a suitable aircraft through its specialist aviation network. Its site highlights the Pilatus PC-12 for short and medium range European missions, as its wide cargo door and pressurised cabin suit ventilated, ICU and bariatric patients and it can use regional airports close to hospitals. Other medical aircraft can be arranged where the PC-12 is not the right fit.
