FAI rent-a-jet of Germany has taken delivery of a fifth Challenger 604 which will be added to the company's medevac fleet of five Learjets and four Challenger 604s. Once it has been modified for air ambulance missions it will join the fleet in December to fulfill repatriations and evacuation requests worldwide. The aircraft will be based at the company's headquarters in Nuremberg and will be maintained by FAI's MRO subsidiary, FAI Technik.

"We took the decision to add a fifth Challenger to our air ambulance fleet as the model fulfils the unique requirements of long range patient transport," states founder and chairman Siegfried Axtmann. "With its spacious cabin, capacity for multiple missions and long range capability, it is a valuable addition to the mix and supports our growing air ambulance activity."

Following the addition of the Challenger 604 and the recent sale of two Learjet 55 types, the FAI fleet currently comprises three Global Express, five Challenger 604s, nine Learjet 60s, two Learjet 55s and one Learjet 35A which supports FAI AOG services.
