Pilatus Delivers First Swedish Air Ambulance PC-24
Pilatus has delivered the first Swedish Air Ambulance Organisation PC-24, which took off on its maiden flight on 22 July 2020. The aircraft will provide advanced medical assistance and fast aeromedical care to those in need. The full fleet of six PC-24s is scheduled for delivery in 2021. This marks an important milestone in the programme, which was signed with Kommunalförbundet Svenskt Ambulansflyg (KSA) less than a year ago. The delivery was facilitated by Aerolite AG, a specialist Swiss company appointed to oversee the installation of the medevac interior. The PC-24’s flexibility and STOL capabilities make it an ideal aircraft for air ambulance missions. This is the third organisation to deploy the PC-24 as a medevac aircraft, following the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia and the US North Slope Borough Search and Rescue Department.
