FAQ

About the Challenger 605

Why charter a Challenger 605 instead of a Learjet for medevac?+

Two reasons: range and clinical workspace. The Challenger flies transatlantic non-stop and gives the medical team a stand-up cabin to manage ECMO, intra-aortic balloon pumps or two patients in parallel — none of which fit in a mid-size jet.

Is the Challenger 605 ECMO-capable?+

Yes. Operators with extracorporeal programmes configure it with reinforced electrical and oxygen supply, dedicated mounting for the ECMO console, and an ECMO-trained physician–perfusionist team.

How much does a long-range Challenger 605 medevac cost?+

Indicatively €85,000–€185,000 per mission depending on routing, permits, ground ambulance at both ends and clinical complexity. Quotes are fixed before launch.
