Jet Logistics Inc., an FAA Part 135 ISBAO Stage 3 certified and CAMTS-audited air carrier for leading air medical programs, recently added two new Hawker 850XP and Hawker 800XP jets to its AeroMedOPS™ program and donor organ procurement and air ambulance-dedicated fleet. The aircraft are available for immediate charter by organ procurement organizations (OPO), transplant centers and other operators for supplemental lift.
“Jet Logistics has a distinguished history with the OPO market and over the past 15 years, we’ve successfully operated thousands of life-saving organ transplant missions. Our teams understand the high standards for safety, speed and comfort that doctors, medical crews and transplant programs demand to perform their critical work,” stated Jet Logistics Holding Group President, W. Ashley Smith, Jr.
Both Hawker jets are later model, low time aircraft offering updated, executive quality exterior paint and interior cabins, seating for up to eight (8) passengers and advanced avionics and communications systems. The Hawker 800-series is well-suited for servicing both shorter haul, transcontinental and international missions with Jet Logistics‘ worldwide FAA op-specs and global operations expertise. The aircraft are strategically located, with the 850XP Midwest-based in Tulsa, OK and the 800XP East Coast-based in Raleigh, NC.
Smith, Jr. added, “Our company has been operating and servicing Hawkers for 2 decades, with a current fleet of 5 Hawker aircraft. Our flight crews and mechanics, including me with significant time in this type, know the aircraft extremely well. These are 2 of the nicest aircraft in our fleet and the Hawker’s cabin offers significantly more room, comfort and amenities including GoGo Internet, fully enclosed rear lavatory, and near stand-up cabin height, features not available in the light jets used by most OPO operators.”
