PAL Aerospace, a global leader in comprehensive aerospace solutions, and Air Borealis, a trusted partnership between PAL, the Nunatsiavut Group of Companies and the Innu Development Limited partnership, will be responsible for the design, management, and operation of integrated fixed-wing and rotary air ambulance services for the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Through the innovative partnership the companies have established with Medavie Health NL, these organizations will ensure safe, reliable, and efficient medical transport services for communities across the province.
“We believe the selection of PAL Aerospace and Air Borealis, in partnership with Medavie Health NL, demonstrates the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s commitment to providing the highest standard of medical transportation services to its residents,” said Mike Pyle, Chief Executive Officer of Exchange Income Corporation. “The EIC Family of Companies is Canada’s largest, most established air ambulance operator employing both fixed and rotary wing aircraft.
