Abu Dhabi's Royal Jet has added a second dedicated medevac aircraft to its fleet of luxury jets to meet the steady growth and demand for Medevac services.
Royal Jet’s Medevac missions in 2011 has seen an increase in numbers compared with the previous year.
“Being one of only a few Medevac-operators worldwide that cover the full range of cabin sizes , Royal Jet has clearly established its leadership role in the air ambulance market,” said Shane O’Hare, President and CEO of Royal Jet. “More importantly, the fact that Royal Jet owns its own fleet of aircraft which can easily and readily converted into air ambulances based on requirement as well as being manned and operated by our very own in-house team of highly trained medical professionals, we provide the market and our customers with a high level of confidence about our reliability and dependability to undertake such tasks.
“Indeed, having performed over 1310 missions, Royal Jet continues to be the most successful Medevac operator with strong year-on-year growth and with the largest number of patient transfers,” he added.
All of Royal Jet’s Air Ambulances are equipped with the most advanced onboard medical equipment and technologies including an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), ventilators, and even incubators for neo-natal requirements. Manned and operated by specially-trained and experienced in-house medical team consisting of a doctor and a paramedic, Royal Jet’s Medevac missions provide bed-to-bed service starting from any medical facility where a patient may be coming from to the next medical facility or hospital that the patient is destined to go to.
Significantly, Royal Jet’s medical team includes medical specialists who have been carefully selected in accordance with patients’ needs and requirements, and are all capable of providing the highest level of medical care and attention at every mission due to their specialist training in Aeromedicine – a specialty on its own which is absolutely necessary to be part of any Medevac mission.
While most of Royal Jet’s Medevac missions begin or end in the UAE, it has also carried out a number of missions from or to many cities across the Middle East, Europe, Africa and America. Additionally, Royal Jet has likewise conducted a significant number of Medevac missions from high risk areas such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
The increasing demand from people who prefer to travel overseas for specialised medical procedures are among those that Royal Jet caters to as the company offers patients the flexibility of selecting whatever timings and service suit them.
Since inception, Royal Jet’s Medevac service has been created with an objective of transporting patients with any type of condition, including those who may be critically ill and require the utmost medical support and attention. Its industry-leading Medevac service is founded on the recognition of the complex process of organising each mission, with a view that all Medevac missions are a new challenge and not simply the provision of an aircraft for a patient’s travel needs.
The entire process begins with the Royal Jet Medevac team conducting high precision coordination starting with pre-flight assessment of the patient followed by necessary equipment coordination, ground transportation and in-flight medical care. And with each and every patient’s varying medical condition, Royal Jet ensures that each Medevac mission is tailor-fit and customised in accordance with the patients’ medical needs.
