May 8, 2025 (Fargo, ND) Fargo Jet Center (FJC) proudly announces the completion and delivery of a newly outfitted dedicated air medical Beechcraft King Air 360C to the Hellenic Ministry of Health\u2019s National Center for Emergency Care (EKAB). Generously supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) as part of its Global Health Initiative (GHI), the aircraft will be operated by the Hellenic Air Force as part of Greece\u2019s expanding national air ambulance program.<\/p>\n

This King Air 360C is the third aircraft FJC has completed for EKAB in the past five years, continuing a trusted partnership focused on delivering highly capable, mission-ready air medical platforms. The new aircraft will be used to provide critical emergency care and patient transfers between remote areas and medical facilities throughout Greece and surrounding regions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honor to support Greece\u2019s investment in air medical transport,\u201d said Jim Sweeney, President of Fargo Jet Center. \u201cOur team takes great pride in transforming these aircraft into flying intensive care units. We understand that every detail matters when lives are on the line, and we\u2019re proud to deliver a platform that\u2019s ready to serve from day one.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the nationwide public ambulance service in Greece, EKAB is celebrating its 40 years of service,\u201d said Dr. Demetrios Pyrros, Director of Medical Services for EKAB. \u201cThis additional aircraft will enhance our capacity to serve the Greek citizens, as well as the 30+ million annual visitors who may need emergency medical transport. The generosity of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation makes this possible, and we are looking forward to putting it in operational use with the support of the Hellenic Air Force.<\/p>\n
