Sad day for the RFDS guys and girls at YMEN.

Brave move for the Victorian Government and in particular the Health Minister. With the RFDS being in the aeromedical business since 1928 and owning a large fleet of B200's, you thought they would have put in a very competive tender and had the expertise as well.

Hope its not another Amman Aviation in the making!

Little birdie told me that Pelair are planning to operate B350's on the Victorian and NSW contracts.

GAM will also feel the pinch as they do some of RFDS maintenance in YMEN.
