Williston, North Dakota, is celebrating the resumption of locally-operated aeromedical services for the community since July 2023, when the region’s previous provider discontinued operations.

Williston Care Flight—part of GFK Flight Support, which provides air ambulance services in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and Sidney, Montana—operates a fleet of five Pilatus PC-12s. Three of the turboprop singles are equipped for full-time medevac operations, including a Spectrum AeroMed stretcher and other specialized equipment. “The other two are primarily configured for corporate flight operations with the executive interior, but are able to be converted into air medical operations within an hour, as needed, to provide backup coverage for our three primary air medical aircraft,” Williston Care Flight v-p Kyle Black told AIN, adding that this typically happens during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance events.
