FAI Air Service (Flight Ambulance International (FAI) Air Service) is an airline based in Germany. It operates executive jet charter and air ambulance services, as well as aircraft leasing and management services. FAI operates five jet aircraft from its Nuremberg base for air ambulance and executive jet services.[1]
[edit] History
The airline was established in 1987 under the name of IFA-Flugbetriebs GmbH as a fully owned subsidiary of non-profit company, IFA International Flight Ambulance. In 1989, it was privatized and redeployed under the Flight Ambulance Service name. In 1992 FAI took over Grundig AG air services as part of an outsourcing strategy and structured in its present corporate form. Since 2001, the airline has focused on air ambulance services and reducing aircraft chartering activities. About 80 % of the airlines revenues have been generated by the air ambulance sector. It is owned by Axtmann Beteiligungs GmbH and early in 2003 the company name was changed from FAI Airservice to FAI rent-a-jet. In 2004, FAI generated revenues of over 15 million euros.[1]
The FAI Air Service fleet includes the following aircraft[1] :
Two of the Learjets 55 are stationed in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire and in Dakar, Senegal, dedicated to the Westafrican peace mission.
