Polish Air Ambulance Service Orders Two Learjet 75 Liberty Aircraft

Bombardier has sold two Learjet 75 Liberty aircraft to North Dakota-based Fargo Jet Center (FJC).

The Learjet 75 Liberty aircraft, which will enter service this year, are to be converted to dedicated medevac configuration and delivered to Lotnicze Pogotowie Ratunkowe (LPR), an air ambulance service provider in Warsaw, Poland.

“The Learjet 75 Liberty aircraft, with its best-in-class spaciousness, speed and range, is an excellent choice for medevac missions,” said Stéphane Leroy, Vice President, Sales, Bombardier Specialized Aircraft. “Learjet aircraft have long been a trusted platform for all types of special missions, and the Learjet 75 Liberty aircraft gives operators even more reasons to choose the world’s best light jet.”

Fargo Jet Center has extensive experience converting aircraft interiors for medevac use. FJC is expected to take delivery of the Learjet 75 Liberty aircraft from Bombardier in late-2020, then deliver the converted EMS aircraft to LPR in Poland in 2021.

Spectrum Aeromed, also based in Fargo, has been selected as the air medical equipment provider on the project.

“It is a pleasure to be working with Bombardier, LPR and Spectrum Aeromed to develop one of the most capable light jet EMS aircraft in the world today,” said Patrick Sweeney, CEO, Fargo Jet Center. “Our team brings a unique skill set to this project through our extensive history in modifying aircraft for special missions. From initial conception to design, fabrication and installation, our experts will transform the interior of the Learjet 75 Liberty aircraft to meet LPR’s specifications.”

In operation since 2000, Lotnicze Pogotowie Ratunkowe provides 24/7 air ambulance services throughout Poland via a fleet of 27 rotary wing and two turboprop aircraft. The addition of the Learjet platform will mark the expansion of LPR’s operations to include jet aircraft.

“The acquisition of the new Learjet 75 Liberty aircraft fits perfectly into our strategic plans for growth in Poland and will provide the necessary combination of speed and range to drive the expansion of our operational capabilities and EMS transport availability into international operations,” said Wojciech Wozniczka, LPR Director of key project management.

The Learjet 75 Liberty aircraft is ideal for EMS conversion as it has a flat floor, room to accommodate up to three stretchers and sophisticated medical equipment, as well as seating for medical staff.

With its range of 2,080 nautical miles, out of Warsaw the Learjet 75 Liberty aircraft can reach all of Europe, including Iceland, and beyond into Northern Africa, Russia and the Middle East.
