No need to be defensive. NSW isn’t exactly that big of a state that you’d gain much of an advantage by operating a jet vs a turboprop, especially if they were smart and got some B360’s with Blackhawk mods.

You’re not doing primary retrievals, you’re doing inter-hospital transfers. The patients in 99.95% of cases are stable and not needing jet like responses.

Jets would purely be a waste of money. But it looks like that’s what they’ve done. How’s Pel Air’s history of operating aeromed in jets again?
