ITC-AeroLeasing announces the finalization of eleven (11) new aircraft leases with our long-term Emergency Medical Services partner in the United States, between June and August.
ITC-AeroLeasing is very pleased to announce the conclusion of 11 aircraft leases with our long-time partner in the US, Global Medical Response, through their operating companies Air Evac EMS, Guardian Flight, Med-Trans Corporation, and Reach Air Medical Services.
The leases include multiple Bell 407, Airbus H125, and Pilatus PC-12 aircraft. The variety of models involved in these transactions reflects the various performance requirements needed to deliver a diverse range of patient care and transportation services across the United States.
The Bell 407 is a popular model in EMS, in operation since 1996. Built to land quickly in challenging conditions, the bi-fold doors make loading patients faster and easier. Bell also offers HEMS kit platforms via various vendors.
The Airbus Helicopters H125 is one of the market-leading aircraft in the single-engine EMS market. The H125 offers a cabin with multiple medical kit options adaptable to an operator’s specific needs, along with outstanding performance.
Over 2,000 Pilatus PC-12s have been delivered to date, making it the most iconic pressurized single-engine turboprop in the world since entering operation in 1994. The PC-12 is one of the best ambulance aircraft, not only for its low operating costs but also for its unique ability to operate in and out of unpaved runways. The pressurized cabin offers enough space for up to three patients and medical equipment, and the large cargo door allows for easy loading and unloading. The cabin can easily be reconfigured to fit a wide variety of mission profiles, for maximum operator flexibility.
For the past 9 years, ITC-AeroLeasing has been a proud partner of Global Medical Response (GMR), supporting their lifesaving operations across the US. We are honored to strengthen our partnership with GMR and support their mission of providing care to the world at a moment’s notice.
Upon closing this latest deal, Mirika Nakayama, CEO of ITC-AeroLeasing, said:
“We are proud to support Global Medical Response in their continuous efforts to deliver pre-hospital solutions across the United States. Since 1989, ITC has been committed to supporting EMS operators, and we look forward to continuing to help operators fund the most suitable aircraft for their customers.”
