Medical treatment in the Top End is set to change as a new aeromedical retrieval aircraft will upgrade medical retrieval services for critical care patients in the Northern Territory.
The Gulfstream G150 jet – obtained from the United States – will serve CareFlight and with more room on board it means loved ones will be able to travel with patients.
The aircraft can fly faster than 1000 kilometres an hour with a range of more than 5000 kilometres, meaning it can fly nonstop from Darwin to any Australian capital city.
CareFlight head of training Ian Percival said previously patients would have to wait a significantly longer time for an aircraft to reach Darwin, or a smaller plane would need to stop along the way.
“This one’s got the best combination of speed range, fuel burn to deliver the best patient outcome for getting our patients around Australia,” he told Sky News.
