Siegfried Axtmann reports on record revenue for 2016

2016 proves a record year for FAI's air ambulance division

The air ambulance division of German operator FAI rent-a-jet AG has reported record operational and financial results for 2016, achieving revenues of more than $47.62 million, an increase of over seven per cent compared to the previous year.

The business generated more than 10,000 combined flying hours across its now 11-strong fleet of dedicated air ambulance jet aircraft (see fleet additions, p29) which is based at Albrecht Dürer International airport in Nuremberg. It performed 892 missions and airlifted more than 1,000 patients from 329 destinations in 123 countries.

“Despite the negative effect the oil and gas crisis in the Middle East has had on the growth of FAI's air ambulance business, we achieved a very successful 2016,” says chairman Siegfried Axtmann.
