The large cabin aircraft can transport one adult or one isolette (neonate) patient. In most cases, up to two family members can accompany the patient. The aircraft is also ideal for transplant teams and rapid delivery of organs.

CareFlite utilizes a King Air 90, a high-performance, twin engine, pressurized turboprop aircraft. King Airs are among the most widely accepted fixed wing aircraft used for air ambulance services. The aircraft is based at the Grand Prairie Airport and can pick up or deliver patients to any airport in the Metroplex. Other aircraft operated by other air carriers may be substituted as operationally necessary.
