”Q” Air-Taxi VLJs from North American Jet Charter Group
to Include MedAire Products, Services
TEMPE, Ariz., JULY 11, 2007 – Senior-level executives purchasing a one-way or round-trip ticket from Wheeling, Ill.-based North American Jet’s revolutionary “Q” Air-Taxi service will get much more than just an affordable fare to their intended destination. They’ll have peace of mind while flying on a state-of-the-art, very light jet (VLJ) equipped with the latest in medical services provided by MedAire Inc., (ASX:MDE), a global provider of remote medical education, expertise and equipment.
Over the next year, North American Jet Charter Group, LLC will add a fleet of Eclipse 500 very light jets as part of their ”Q” Air-Taxi Service. The VLJs are the first fleet in the Chicagoland market as well as the first in the nation to include MedAire’s life-saving medical solutions. Pilots will have 24-hour access to emergency physicians, RN case managers and communication specialists working at MedAire’s MedLink Global Response Center.
Under the agreement, North American Jet’s VLJ fleet will carry a MedAire VLJ first aid kit designed to fit the compact jet’s three-passenger, two-pilot design. Also included is a Heartsine Samaritan Pad automated external defibrillator (AED) and CPR/AED pilot training.
“Designed for the ‘quintessential traveler’, our innovative “Q” Air-Taxi service has tremendous appeal because of the convenience, ease, productivity and value it delivers,” said Kenneth D. Ross, president of North American Jet Charter Group. “Our “Q” service has even more value knowing that our jets are equipped with MedAire’s life-saving equipment and that the crew is trained to handle in-flight medical emergencies. We expect other air taxi operators around the country will follow our lead in this safety arena.”
Since 2000, MedAire has supplied North American Jet’s fleet of medium-to-heavy jets with the MedLink ground-to-air medical service and medical kits. The new agreement extends MedAire’s solution to North American Jet’s rapidly-growing fleet of
VLJs.
“We are thrilled to be part of this innovative new program for guests onboard North American Jet’s new VLJs,” said James A. Williams, MedAire CEO. “North American Jet has clearly made safety their top priority.”
