VIP Completions announced their latest project – the conversion of a Gulfstream G550 from business aircraft to medical evacuation air ambulance. Upon completion earlier this summer, this aircraft immediately entered service and began flying life-saving missions. This G550 is operated by Hatzolah Air, a non-profit provider of emergency medical air transport, staffed by more than 360 volunteer flight physicians, paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers and case managers. Hatzolah Air is entirely funded by private donors and services are provided to patients and their families completely free of charge. Headquartered at Sullivan County International Airport (MSV) in Bethel, New York, Hatzolah Air operates a fleet of four fixed-wing and multiple rotor aircraft.
Hatzolah Air is currently holding its year-end fundraising campaign, which culminated in a gala on Wednesday evening at Fort Lauderdale International Airport. The centerpiece of the conversion was the installation of a Spectrum Aeromed Extended Range stretcher and modular life support system.

It is an inspiring volunteer organization that does amazing work and Eli has a unique ability to get things done. This G550 was generously gifted to Hatzolah Air and we are supporting its conversion by donating our labor and expertise .For VIP Completions, the conversion of a business aircraft to an air ambulance is a departure from our typical projects. As an extension of our expertise, we are able to leverage years of experience in interior completions, exceptional craftsmanship and the attention to detail of our team of experts. We invite other parties interested in MEDEVAC conversions to contact us at their convenience."
