At the formal launch of REVA base operations at Shannon Airport Gainjet Ireland CEO Ray Mills said “The partnership we have formed with REVA is the first service of its kind in Ireland. I believe there is huge potential from this service and am hopeful that we will grow rapidly from our one based aircraft to three Shannon based aircraft by the end of this year.”
Shannon Group CEO Mary Considine said “It is a vote of confidence in the airport that North America’s largest air ambulance service chose to invest at our airport and provide an invaluable service for people when they are most vulnerable and need support. It is a tribute to Gainjet Ireland for securing the partnership with REVA and our congratulations to Ray Mills and his team at Gainjet, and the IDA who supported the company.”
The base is led by Dr Aidan Murphy, a leader in pre-hospital medicine. EJ-REVA Hawker 800XP msn 258146 completed its first mission to and from the Maldives departing Shannon 7th February and returning on the 10th February.
EJ-REVA operates under callsign ‘GJI 85U’.
