Tropicair is making significant advancements in its operations with the return of its VIP/Medivac CJ3 jet, fully refurbished and ready for service in late November.
This aircraft stands out as the only jet within the Pacific region equipped for medical evacuations, emphasizing its vital role in emergency medical services.
Based in Port Moresby, the CJ3 jet offers rapid patient transfers with impressive cruise speeds exceeding 700 km/h, a crucial factor in urgent medical missions.
Tropicair has successfully utilized this aircraft for medivac operations across Southeast Asia, including countries like Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia, as well as in the South Pacific, covering destinations such as the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Nauru, and Guam.
Australia remains a preferred destination for medical care, given its proximity and high-quality healthcare facilities in cities like Cairns, Townsville, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Darwin, Sydney, and Melbourne.
To complement the CJ3 jet's capabilities, Tropicair operates a diverse fleet of aircraft, including Twin Otters, Cessna Caravans, and King Airs, which can access smaller, remote airstrips throughout Papua New Guinea. This strategic fleet allows for seamless wing-to-wing international medivac transfers.
In addition to its medivac services, Tropicair has completed a terminal extension project, enhancing its VIP charter services. The new VIP terminal and lounge completed in mid-2024, will provide an upscale experience for passengers.
The refurbished CJ3 jet, along with a newly acquired VIP King Air, ensures that Tropicair will continue to deliver reliable and timely services in one of the most remote and challenging regions in the world.
