Medical Rescue Africa (MRA) launched its state-of the art air ambulance, fully equipped with medical evacuation facilities.

MRA, which operates under Westair Aviation, unveiled the Beechcraft King Air 350i at the Westair hangar at Eros Airport on 1 October.

The aircraft offers strong performance, range, and reliability, with a spacious medical platform that can accommodate two stretchers and advanced life-support systems.

Westair Aviation CEO Henri van Schalkwyk said the aircraft provides the highest standards of safety, capability, and medical care.

He said they will ensure the country remains a leader in aeromedical response services in Africa.

“A service like this is never needed until it is needed – and then it must be available, safe, and reliable,” said van Schalkwyk.
