VIP Completions has converted a Gulfstream G550 from a business aircraft to a medical evacuation (Medevac) air ambulance for Hatzolah Air, a nonprofit organization providing free emergency medical air transport. The G550 entered service this summer and is now used for life-saving missions. Hatzolah Air, based in Bethel, New York, operates a fleet of aircraft staffed by volunteers, including physicians, paramedics, and EMTs. It is fully funded by private donations.
“We are very proud to be working with Eli Rowe and the Hatzolah Air team,” says Ben Shirazi, president of VIP Completions. “It is an inspiring volunteer organization that does amazing work and Eli has a unique ability to get things done. This G550 was generously gifted to Hatzolah Air and we are supporting its conversion by donating our labor and expertise.”
The conversion focused on installing a Spectrum Aeromed extended range stretcher and life support system, with the aircraft’s cabin divided into three main areas: life support zone, galley, and lounge. It features two lavatories and can accommodate up to 12 medical crewmembers/passengers in a single-stretcher configuration, or eight passengers and two patients. The design includes custom seats with premium upholstery from Garrett Leather, wool carpeting by RedRock, and accent panels by Tapis.
VIP Completions—along with those suppliers—donated labor and materials to support this charitable initiative.

News and developments about everything that goes into the cabin of an aircraft, from floor coverings to headliners, with a special emphasis on in-flight entertainment, communications and other electronics for passengers. If it is in the cabin of an aircraft, it’s covered here.
