The Citation ran out of engine hours about 3 years ago and the Hawker had a time ex engine about 2 years ago so neither jet has been missed

Covid came and organ transfers reduced accordingly but local jet charter companies filled the gap easily. The Premier also preferred the charter jets over that slow King Air that was sitting in the back of the hangar virtually unused

The minister has stated that there was about 1 organ transfer per week average so why does the taxpayer need the two new jets each much larger than the replaced old Hawker to cover so few transplants

I suppose it’s too early yet to see what pay is on offer or whether the new hangar will have crew rest facilities like the rotary wing guys have

Do the Caravans remain or are the King Airs replacing them
