Bombardier Challenger 605
With over 30 years of expertise in aeromedical transport, EAA is recognized for exceptional service standards and quality care. Yet, we’re always advancing—continuously assessing how to improve our offerings for the benefit of our clients and patients.
In 2021, we took a significant step forward by adding the Bombardier Challenger 605 to our fleet, specifically outfitted for dedicated air ambulance operations, enabling us to undertake longer-range missions and accommodate more patients per flight.
This commitment to growth continued in June 2024, when we welcomed a second Challenger 605 to our fleet. Both aircraft are stationed at our advanced headquarters at Luxembourg Airport, where our Operations Control Center team coordinates and schedules repatriation flights worldwide.
