PETROLEUM DIRECTORY: Long-range medevac jet based in Alaska

Petroleum News

An advanced medical evacuation jet is being based in Anchorage to perform non-stop missions as long as 3,000 miles.

The Aeromed International Lear 36A is designed for long-range transport of critical patients.

Alaska’s strategic location will allow the jet to be used for missions around the world.

“Anchorage is an excellent departure point for extracting patients from Russian oil fields, and is also a central jumping-off point for the entire Pacific Rim, South Pacific and Northern Europe,” said Brooks Wall, director of Aeromed.

Along with the new jet, Aeromed has two Lear 35As and a Cessna Citation II in its fixed-wing fleet.

Aeromed is a division of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corp. It has been in operation since 1997, and flies about 1,500 missions a year.
