Fleet Flew Some 870,000 Miles During The Past Year

The fleet of aircraft used by Angel MedFlight to transport patients flew approximately 870,000 statute miles in 2013; nearly double the amount of miles from the previous year, according to the company. The medical flight crews transported seriously ill or injured patients in or out of all 50 U.S. states and 30 countries worldwide, with the longest flight on record for the year was from Texas to Nigeria – a total of 8,294 statute miles.

"Our Flight Coordinators handle all the logistical details of scheduling the medical transport for both families and case managers, allowing them to focus on their loved one or patient," Stacey Barnard, Chief Flight Coordinator, said in a news release. "Our One Touch Promise has earned us the global trust of those in need of, or coordinating an air ambulance transport."

With a fleet of jets including the Learjet 60, Angel MedFlight provides a global reach to patients for urgent medical transport to and from international locations in almost every part of the world. The company operates and maintains its own fleet of medically-configured jets because of their unmatchable range and speed.

In 2013 alone, the air ambulance service transported patients to and from the farthest reaches of the globe, including South Korea, Nigeria, Lebanon, Turkey, China, Saudi Arabia, England, Turks & Caicos, Mexico, Bahamas, Jamaica, Barbados, USVI, Aruba, St. Martin, Canada, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Argentina, Nicaragua, Ireland, Germany, Spain, France, and The Netherlands.

It also was an award-winning year for Angel MedFlight. AR/GUS International awarded Angel MedFlight Worldwide Air Ambulance with its highest honor, a prestigious Platinum Rating. "It was definitely a year of distinction for us – from doubling our transport miles to winning community awards and growing our employee base," commented Jeremy T. Freer, CEO and President. "Our growth is a testimony not only to our unique patient advocacy model but the passion Angel MedFlight's employees put into the work they do every day."
