Maiden Afghan Medical Evacuation - Awesome Air Evac, DFS & TMH Medical Service inaugural partnership mission

3 top players in their respective fields come together to provide solutions for all

Awesome Air Evac, DFS and TMH Medical Services have joined forces to provide an air ambulance service based in Kabul, Afghanistan. This formidable team brings years of experience in aeromedical evacuations, transport logistics, and medical support operations in hot and hostile territories to the sector.

The Beech 1900D aircraft is being operated by FlyAwesome, a specialist operator in these environments, and is permanently based in Kabul to service both domestic and international requirements.  The Beech 1900D has been fitted with a Med-Pac 400 Aerosled and is an ideal regional platform due to its multi-role capability, full stand up cabin and rugged dependability.

The first Air Ambulance mission out of Afghanistan was successfully completed on the 13th November 2017 with the patient being moved to Dubai.

Brandon Reed, Vice President Global Medevac Operations TMH Medical Services, said “I am pleased that three industry leaders have been able to come together to provide our clients with a faster, more cost effective solution to patient air transport needs. It’s taken quite a bit of planning but ultimately it’s the patients who will benefit greatest. That’s what’s most important to me.

Not to sound cliché but together everyone achieves more and this is a great example of that.  I look forward to this service helping as many patients as we possibly can.”
