Project Phoenix partners with Spectrum Aeromed for medevac Phoenix CRJ version |
|
In response to market interest for the Phoenix CRJ in an air ambulance version, Project Phoenix, the Dubai-based specialist in converting airliners for VIP/executive use, has signed an agreement with Spectrum Aeromed of the United States to develop such a variant - as either a dedicated air ambulance version or quick change fit option. Spectrum Aeromed, headquartered at Hector International Airport in Fargo, North Dakota, provides customized air medical and air ambulance equipment for fixed and rotary wing aircraft around the world.
Under the terms of the agreement, Spectrum Aeromed will provide Project Phoenix with a custom-designed medical interior and full range of medical equipment that they can offer to prospective customers who see the Phoenix CRJ as a suitable platform for medevac flying. The company will be Project Phoenix's preferred and recommended aeromed provider and Spectrum will refer any interested clients to Project Phoenix.
In addition, into the future, the two companies have agreed to work together and review future conversion of other (larger) airliner types, such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 series. Currently, Spectrum Aeromed boasts 50-plus STCs on some 250 aircraft types.
"We see this relationship very much as a long term one," said Project Phoenix CEO Mike Cappuccitti, announcing the agreement at Europe's largest business aviation show, EBACE, this week. "We have considerable interest for the Phoenix CRJ in the in the air ambulance role - from Europe, the United States and the Middle East. This exclusive agreement with Spectrum Aeromed, a renowned world leader in life-saving solutions, will be well received," he noted.
"Spectrum Aeromed looks forward to completely customizing and configuring a Phoenix CRJ airmed solution - down to the last detail - so that it meets Project Phoenix's goals as well as its customers' needs," said Horst Heinicke, vice president of international marketing for Spectrum Aeromed. "Spectrum Aeromed has always approached each project as a unique, individual job, so we're excited to work closely with Project Phoenix's senior management team to fulfill the increasing demand for medevac missions."
The Phoenix CRJ programme was conceived to offer buyers of large executive aircraft a viable and cost-effective alternative to new business aircraft models in the 2,200 - 3,000nm range. Jet Asia of Macau is the first operator to fly the Project Phoenix VIP-configured Bombardier CRJ-200 on behalf of owner Ritz Pacific Ltd, accepting its aircraft later this month.
