Streamlined Operations With Significant Size and Scale

Air Evac Lifeteam provides superior effectiveness in patient care and safety.

Ultimately, Air Evac Lifeteam’s operations result in a streamlined infrastructure that ensures financial stability and operational longevity to be in a position to serve out its mission of delivering high quality air medical emergency response to rural communities.

Safe, Standardized Fleet of Aircraft

Air Evac Lifeteam operates the world’s largest fleet of Bell 206 LongRanger helicopters, rated among the safest, most reliable and agile aircraft in the world. A fleet consisting of one type of aircraft leads to standardized, more efficient training, maintenance, the development of best practices and results in economics of scale that allow for continued re-investment in the fleet.
