Aircraft Fleet
At AirCARE1, our passion is to make a difference in the lives of our patients by providing excellent medical care with empathy and compassion. Every detail matters, so we go the extra mile to make the transport experience as positive as possible for patients and their families.
To ensure the highest standards of safety and comfort are met during every medical transport, we fly executive-quality aircraft, that have excellent safety records, efficient performance capabilities, and comfortable interiors.
We maintain a Part135 certificate and own and operate our Learjet 35A ambulance and Learjet 60. Proven workhorses in the air ambulance industry, these are the aircraft of choice for air ambulance transports.
With our diverse fleet of aircraft, we perform medical transportation flights throughout North America, South America, and Central America as well as wing-to-wing transfers for world-wide repatriations.
Learjet as an Air Ambulance
Our AirCARE1 Learjet 35 ambulnce aircraft have been medically configured to include a full airborne Intensive Care Unit. We utilize a specialized stretcher system and the most up-to-date medical equipment to ensure seamless, quality medical care between the point of origin and destination. Additionally, we offer extra-wide 36-inch cargo doors on the Lear 35 aircraft, allowing for a safer, smoother transition when loading and unloading our patients.
For each air ambulance transport mission, our experienced in-flight team includes two highly-qualified pilots and two highly-qualified medical crew members. We also offer a welcoming environment where family members are encouraged to accompany their loved one during the flight. Family members report this to be beneficial for all involved, as they each gain reassurance and peace of mind when in one another’s company and can see first-hand the extra steps we take to uphold the highest standards of safety, medical treatment, and compassionate care.
About the Learjet
The Learjet is one of the faster and quieter small business jets on the market. We cruise our aircraft over 500 mph at flight levels over 40,000 feet, higher than most other aircraft. The higher altitude ensures a faster and smoother ride above any adverse weather conditions which provides better comfort and peace of mind for our patients. Transporting patients is never easy, and air travel has some inherent risks. The faster we can transport our patients to their destination while reducing any anxieties and stressors of flight, the better their chances are for recovery.
Learjet 35A Ambulance
The Learjet 35 ambulance is best known for its range, with the ability to fly up to 1850 nautical miles, nonstop. It also boasts fast cruise speeds, low fuel burn, and good handling characteristics. In addition, the Learjet 35 has the capability to take off in 5,000 feet allowing it to serve smaller, regional airports with shorter runways, thus reducing ground transportation times by landing as close as possible to the destination facility.
Range: 1,750 – 1,850 NM
Flight Time: 4 hours – 4 hrs. 20 min.
Learjet 60 Ambulance
One of the strongest features of the Learjet 60 is its cruise performance. The Learjet 60 can climb to its cruise level of 43,000 feet in less than fourteen minutes, with a total duration of five to five-and-a-half hours. With its nonstop service from coast to coast, this aircraft provides the greatest range and comfort for patients.
