Australia’s New South Wales Ambulance has taken delivery of the first of a pair of Pilatus PC-24 light jets outfitted for aeromedical services it ordered in 2021. The twinjet will be used to provide service in the southeastern state, which covers an area of approximately 800,000 sq km (306,000 sq mi) and includes the country’s largest city, Sydney.

According to the operator, the PC-24—which is able to operate from short, unpaved runways—will conduct around 800 flights, transferring approximately 6,500 patients, during its first year of service.
