Pel-Air Seeks Experienced Aeromedical Captains to Join Life-Saving Team in Sydney

Pel-Air, a wholly owned subsidiary of Regional Express (Rex), Australia's largest independent regional airline, is seeking highly motivated and experienced Captains to join its dedicated team operating a fleet of King Air B350 and Pilatus PC-24 "Super Versatile Jets" for the NSW Ambulance fixed-wing contract. Based out of Mascot, Sydney, this opportunity offers the chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of others.

Providing Critical Care Across New South Wales

Pilots will play a vital role in delivering essential 24/7 emergency medical services across New South Wales and beyond. Working in close collaboration with NSW Ambulance Flight Nurses and Staff, successful candidates will be responsible for the safe and efficient transport of patients requiring urgent medical attention.
