Rex subsidiary Pel-Air wins NSW air ambulance tender

Regional Express (Rex) announced on 13 February that the New South Wales Ambulance and Pel-Air
have entered into a contract to provide Fixed Wing Patient Transport Services to NSW
Ambulance. The contract has a 10-year operational phase beginning in January 2022. It will
involve supplying five fixed-wing aircraft, pilots and engineering support to enable the
aerial transport of NSW Ambulance medical personnel and patients throughout
regional communities. Pel-Air was awarded a similar contract with Ambulance Victoria in December 2009, and this contract was extended last year until 2023.
Pel-Air Chairman the Honorable John Sharp AM said that Pel-Air is both proud and humbled to
have been selected by the NSW Government to carry out this contract.
“We are honoured to be supporting NSW Ambulance in providing this critical service to the
NSW community,” he said.
“This award is a clear recognition of Pel-Air’s undisputed ability to provide safe, reliable and
high-quality aeromedical services on fixed-wing aircraft at the most competitive prices. We
solemnly commit to the NSW Government that we will spare no efforts in achieving the
satisfaction levels which Ambulance Victoria has experienced for the last decade.”
