Sugar Grove, IL (PRWEB) June 13, 2008 -- AeroCare Medical Transport System, Inc. has added a Lear 55ER jet aircraft to its fleet of aeromedically equipped aircraft. This aircraft will allow AeroCare (www.aerocare.com) to provide worldwide service.

The Lear 55 is a long-range "stand-up" cabin aircraft equipped with an airliner style washroom and can accommodate a stretcher bound patient and 5 additional medical crew/passengers. The aircraft has a range of 2,200 stature miles and is certified to fly at an altitude of 51,000 feet which is up to 2 miles higher than the altitude airliners can fly.

The aircraft's tail number is N40DK and it is currently operated on the FAA Part 135 certificate of R&M Aviation, a wholly owned subsidiary of AeroCare Medical Transport System, Inc. R&M Aviation will be performing proving runs on June 23rd with the FAA in order to obtain worldwide operating authority.

"This aircraft will allow AeroCare to provide a higher level of care and provide more comfort to the patient's family members," explains AeroCare's CEO Joseph D Cece, "and we can be cost effective as the Lear 55 has similar operating costs as our competitors much smaller Lear 35's and Lear 36's."
