German air ambulance specialist FAI rent-a-jet has increased its revenues in the first half of 2013 by around 10 per cent compared with 2012, to more than US$47m. The company is now expecting a yearly turnover of more than $92m. The increase is driven by the ambulance sector and by public services for NGOs in crisis areas such as Afghanistan and Senegal.

Its Hangar 7 development project, which will add another 3,000sqm of hangar space to the company base at Nuremberg International airport, is scheduled for completion by the end of this year, at which point FAI will look to further expand its 200-strong workforce.
