Medway Air Ambulance expands fleet with three Learjet 45 aircraft

Medway Air Ambulance, a US Part 135 air carrier headquartered in Lawrenceville, Georgia, s expanding its fleet of jet aircraft to accommodate the increasing demand for domestic and international air medical transport solutions. With the addition of three medically configured Learjet 45 aircraft this summer, Medway has firmly established itself as a leader in the air ambulance industry, on pace to dispatch more aircraft than any other fixed-wing provider in the country.

Staffed with two pilots and two critical care clinicians, each Learjet 45 will be outfitted with onboard ICU capability to treat adult and pediatric patients in flight. The aircraft's larger cabin accommodates Medway's highly specialised neonatal transport equipment. As a preferred air ambulance provider for top children's hospitals, Medway's continued growth in neonatal and pediatric transport ensures more premature infants and children can be transported to hospitals that provide the specialty care they need.

With the additional aircraft availability, Medway projects a significant increase in the number of air medical transport missions it performs for ill or injured travellers. Medway partners with travel assistance insurance plans to help patients, especially those in the Caribbean, Mexico and South America, with medevac transport back to the U.S. or Canada.

"We have positioned Medway for dramatic growth in both our domestic and international markets," said Matt Kinney, Medway's vice president of flight operations. "We have invested in the aircraft, equipment and personnel to expand our reach and help more patients than ever before. With greater flight capacity, we can increase patient access to specialty care, rehabilitation facilities and children's hospitals across the country."

Medway's fleet expansion will benefit patients nationwide. As an in-network air ambulance provider for workers' compensation insurance plans as well as commercial health plans, Medway's additional aircraft will increase the number of flights possible and offer greater availability for patients covered by the plans.

"For us, it's all about our patients," Kinney said. "With more aircraft, we can help more families."
