The RFDS in SA/NT

RFDS Medi-Jet 24: The ultimate flying intensive care unit

A game changer in aeromedical care, the RFDS Medi-Jet 24 slashes total mission time of long-haul/interstate evacuations and delivers three critically-ill patients the finest care in the air.

The RFDS Medi-Jet 24 packages the RFDS’ signature aeromedical interior and seamless patient loading system with the unparalleled performance and versatility of the state-of-the-art Pilatus PC-24 Super Versatile Jet.

The world’s first purpose-built aeromedical jet, the RFDS Medi-Jet 24 really is in a class of its own:

  • ICU capability for three stretchered patients – enhanced response to mass casualty incidents or natural disasters
  • Custom rear patient loading door – safer, quicker loading of patients and specialist medical equipment
  • Built-in patient stretcher-loader – optimum patient safety and reduced risk of injury to clinicians
  • Advanced bariatric solution – enhanced stretcher and stretcher-loader weight lifting capabilities
  • Right-engine Quiet Power Mode – constant electrical supply and cabin conditioning whilst standing on tarmac
  • Superior short-field take-off/landing – greater operational flexibility and access to regional aerodromes
  • Unpaved airfield capability – unmatched airfield access and mobility in remote parts of the country
  • Certified for single-pilot operation – unrivalled operational efficiency and payload carrying capability
