ITC-AeroLeasing closes new lease transactions in the EMS sector

ITC-AeroLeasing has announced the conclusion of 11 aircraft leases with its long-term partner in the USA, Global Medical Response, through its operating companies Air Evac EMS, Guardian Flight, Med-Trans, and Reach Air Medical Services.

The leases include multiple Bell 407, Airbus H125, and Pilatus PC-12 aircraft. The variety of models involved in these transactions reflects the various performance requirements needed to deliver a diverse range of patient care and transportation services across the USA.

The Bell 407 is a popular model in helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS), in operation since 1996. Built to land quickly in challenging conditions, it has bifold doors that make loading patients faster and easier. Bell also offers HEMS kit platforms via various vendors.

The Airbus helicopters offer a cabin with multiple medical kit options adaptable to an operator’s specific needs, along with outstanding performance.

The Pilatus PC-12’s pressurized cabin offers enough space for up to three patients and medical equipment, and the large cargo door allows for easy loading and unloading. The cabin can easily be reconfigured to fit a wide variety of mission profiles, for maximum operator flexibility.

Upon closing this latest deal, Mirika Nakayama, CEO of ITC-AeroLeasing, said: “We are proud to support Global Medical Response in their continuous efforts to deliver pre-hospital solutions across the US. Since 1989, ITC has been committed to supporting EMS operators, and we look forward to continuing to help operators fund the most suitable aircraft for their customers.”

Earlier this year ITC concluded five new leases with Med-Trans.
