The new facility is located away from the main airport terminal, meaning RFDS flights are not interrupting, or interrupted by, growing commercial activity at the airport.

S Kidman & Co's partnership with RFDS represents a highly regarded union of two proud Aussie brands with shared values, united in their mission to make a positive impact on the lives of those in the outback.

The helicopters have added versatility to the RFDS air ambulance fleet as they can land on rooftop helipads at a number of hospitals, drastically reducing road travel time in an ambulance.
