Australia : Rex Subsidiary Pel-air Awarded Nsw Air Ambulance Tender
Publish Date : 19-Feb-2020
Regional Express (Rex) announces that the New South Wales Ambulance and Pel-Air have entered into a contract to provide Fixed Wing Patient Transport Services to NSW Ambulance. The contract has a 10-year operational phase beginning in January 2022.
The contract involves the supply of five fixed-wing aircraft, pilots and engineering support to enable the aerial transport of NSW Ambulance medical personnel and patients throughout NSW regional communities. Pel-Air was awarded a similar contract with Ambulance Victoria in December 2009, and this contract was extended last year until 2023.
Pel-Air Chairman the Hon. John Sharp AM says that Pel-Air is both proud and humbled to have been selected by the NSW Government to carry out this contract. We are honoured to be supporting NSW Ambulance in providing this critical service to the NSW community, he said. This award is a clear recognition of Pel-Airs undisputed ability to provide safe, reliable and high-quality aeromedical services on fixed-wing aircraft at the most competitive prices.
We solemnly commit to the NSW Government that we will spare no efforts in achieving the satisfaction levels which Ambulance Victoria has experienced for the last decade. Regional Express (Rex) is Australias largest independent regional airline operating a fleet of 60 Saab 340 aircraft on some 1,500 weekly flights to 60 destinations throughout all states in Australia. In addition to the regional airline Rex, the Rex Group comprises wholly owned subsidiaries Pel-Air Aviation (air freight, aeromedical and charter operator) and the two pilot academies Australian Airline Pilot Academy in Wagga Wagga and Ballarat.
