This is the second medevac base for GainJet – its original base in Kuwait still operating with another Challenger 604 medevac aircraft. GainJet group CEO, Captain Ramsey Shaban, states “we have a long-term mission to fully establish our medevac operation to cover the needs of our clients within our market territory. Our Kuwait medevac base is fully functioning so we felt confident in expanding this service further. We noticed a lack of long range medevac aircraft in the U.K and found London Stansted to be an ideal base for this operation. The next step for us is to set up a medevac base in Kigali, Rwanda to serve the African market which does not have easy access to reliable, long range medevac aircraft.”
