Fixed Wing Air Ambulance. Help and Hope from America’s Oldest Joint Use Air Medical Program.
CareFlite’s fixed wing services can fly anywhere within the United States for emergent and non-emergent patient transport. CareFlite’s fixed wing service is available 24 hours a day Monday through Friday by calling the Communications Center at (800) 442-6260.
The large cabin aircraft can transport one adult patient. The aircraft is also ideal for transplant teams and rapid delivery of organs. The King Air is pressurized making it able to fly at higher altitudes and great speed. The King Air is IFR certified, able to operate during inclement weather.
King Airs are among the most widely accepted fixed wing aircraft used for air ambulance services. CareFlite’s twin engine aircraft is based at the Grand Prairie Airport and can pick up or deliver patients to any facility in the Metroplex. Other airports in the Metroplex may be used to shorten patient transport times. Other aircraft operated by other air carriers with a CareFlite Air Medical Crew may be substituted as operationally necessary.
