REVA migration to modern fleet marks significant milestone
REVA has a large and progressively modernising fleet. Its three new Learjets 45XRs replace the Learjet 35 model it used to favour, and lend themselves to simple modifications for comfortable and accessible medical configurations.
The three Learjet 45XRs are the beginning of REVA's migration to a modern fixed wing air ambulance fleet.

REVA has taken delivery of three Learjet 45XR aircraft. The new jets expand REVA's current fleet of dedicated air ambulance aircraft and are a significant step in the company's fleet migration strategy.

“With its speed, range, versatility and reliability, the Learjet 45XR will make an exceptional addition to our fleet,” says CEO Shannon Schell. “The transition to the more modern LR45XR is a significant milestone for REVA and will further solidify the company's market leading position in the fixed wing air medical transport industry. REVA now has not only the largest fleet, but going forward, it will also have the most modern fleet in the fixed wing air ambulance industry. The LR45XR is a meaningful upgrade from the Learjet 35s and will provide greater uptime, reliability and consistency for our clients. We are extremely excited about this transition and what it means for our clients, our employees and the company's future.”

The new 45XRs will initially be based at REVA's headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company also operates from bases in New York, Arizona and Puerto Rico.

In comparison to the Learjet 35, these new aircraft come with an expanded cabin, more headroom and superior comfort for the patient and their family. Additional space inside the aircraft also means that REVA's medical teams will have more room to manoeuvre while providing patient care.

“The patient experience is a key focus at REVA,” says chief sales officer Philip Spizale. “These aircraft will enhance REVA's ability to deliver on that experience, in addition to providing comfortable and accessible seating for our medical teams and accompanying passengers.”

Not only is the interior easy to modify to meet air medical transport requirements, but the jets perform in the air too. Their range is more than 2,000 miles and have cruising speeds approaching 440 kts.

Schell continues: “The Learjet is a fantastic aircraft for the medical transport industry. Its safety record and dependability have set the standard in the private aircraft industry as a whole. These additions to our fleet create even more value in our service offering, which is what our clients expect.

REVA will proceed to move in a direction that results in the most modern and reliable fleet in the industry. This effort, coupled with continuous crew training and the latest technology available in medical equipment and aircraft, will raise the bar in the air medical transport industry once again.”

REVA plans to transition various aircraft within the fleet and replace them with more of these aircraft over the next 18 months.
