Toll Group will acquire Pel-Air’s fixed wing air ambulance services currently under 10 year contract terms with the New South Wales and Victoria governments, as well as eight King Airs and two Pilatus PC-24s.

As part of a $54.3m boost to increase the capability of its aeromedical operations, two PC-24s have joined the NSW Ambulance fleet, optimising response times for patients in rural and regional areas of Australia.

Five King Air turboprops will be used by Pel-Air to provide contracted air ambulance service to NSW Ambulance, a government agency providing emergency services in New South Wales.
