Alabama-based emergency medical operator AirMed International recently acquired San Antonio's Air Medical group. Air Medical’s fleet of three jets and two Beechcraft King Air turboprops will join AirMed’s fleet of Beechjets, Cessna Citations, Learjets and Hawkers, as well as 20 King Airs located at approximately 30 bases across the U.S.

“Strategically, this acquisition will allow AirMed International to serve growing requirements for critical care transport as we meet the needs of healthcare in the Texas region and enhance support for area military medical transports,” commented AirMed president Denise Treadwell. “The compassionate, dedicated and experienced Air Medical team that chairman Joe McCart has built is quite compatible with our professional medical and flight teams.”

Air Medical has 15 years of experience completing emergency and pre-scheduled medical transport. Similar to AirMed, it also completes international transports and is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems. AirMed offers around-the-clock support from its logistics center for medical referrals, consultations, prescription assistance, foreign travel advisories, threat assessments and emergency message services around the world.
