📋 Tender Overview
Since October 2024, it is part of the FAP as part of the actions of the National Government to strengthen the operational capacities of the FF.AA.Since October 2024, the Beechcraft King Air 360C ambulance is part of the Peruvian Air Force, as a result of the National Governments actions to reinforce the operational capacity of the Armed Forces. Since then, he has made 101 aeromedical flights and evacuated to 146 people in a critical situation, many of them in remote areas where land access is limited or unfeasible.
Thanks to its high operational capacity and the specialized medical team that accompanies it, this aircraft has become a key medium to attend opportunities in timely time, especially in the case of newborns and infants that required life support during the transfer.
During 2024 45 flights were made with 67 evacuated patients. So far from 2025, 56 additional flights have already been made, with 79 people transferred. All operations were deployed in 16 regions of the country, being Ucayali, Huanuco, Ayacucho, Cajamarca, Piura and Lambayeque the areas with the highest number of missions.
For example, Ucayali concentrated 23 aeromedical flights with 33 evacuated patients. In Huanuco, 20 missions were completed with 34 people transferred. In Ayacucho, the 12 registered flights allowed 17 patients to attend, while in Lambayeque 13 people were evacuated in emergency.
It should be noted that more than 60 % of patients transferred during this period belong to vulnerable age groups: newborns, infants, school -age children and older adults. This data reflects the priority approach of the Air Force towards the most exposed population against medical emergencies in difficult access regions.
Beechcraft King Air 360C was acquired as part of the National Governments actions to strengthen the operational capacities of the Armed Forces. Its incorporation has significantly raised the Air Force response capacity in rescue and evacuation missions, with a humanitarian and sustainable development approach.
In that same line of operational strengthening, the arrival of a second Beechcraft King 360C aircraft is planned during the second half of August 2025. This new unit will allow expanding national coverage and optimizing medical emergency care times, especially in difficult access regions.
These actions, promoted by the National Government and executed by the Peruvian Air Force under the framework of the Ministry of Defense, reaffirm the commitment to guarantee a timely and effective response to emergencies, prioritizing the most vulnerable populations and strengthening the presence of the State throughout the territory.
