Geneva/London, May 15th, 2025 — Aeromedic, part of AMETEK MRO, has unveiled a new generation of onboard first aid kits, purpose-designed for business jet operators navigating the complex landscape of international medical compliance. With a lightweight soft PVC case, the newly developed kits offer modular contents tailored to variable operational needs, while remaining certified to CAA, EASA, and FAA standards.
“Reassuringly compliant with lightweight, soft case for variable content selection and practicality – we’ve made it easy for operators of business jets,” said Steve Rowley, Engineering Director at Aeromedic.
Well regarded as a global provider of aviation medical equipment, Aeromedic specialises in the design, manufacture, repair, and refurbishment of both first aid and emergency medical kits. Its offering is informed by deep expertise in regulatory compliance and pharmaceutical logistics across global jurisdictions.
The new kits are engineered for efficiency: compact, lightweight, and fully accessible in emergencies. Aeromedic holds stock to support AOG requirements and offers a range of kit sizes and formats to ensure operators meet mandatory onboard medical provisioning with ease. The company is also authorised by the UK Home Office for the possession and supply of controlled drugs—an essential requirement for international carriers dealing with jurisdictional differences in pharmaceutical control.
“Cabin crews onboard business jets will have first aid training and be fully aware of the kit contents and provisions available onboard their aircraft,” explained Rowley. “Our scope is broad – from plasters and Calpol to therapeutic oxygen and a wide range of other medical devices. There are dozens of kit variants, and we are accustomed to helping with bespoke requirements. We use our expertise to help owners and operators of individual aircraft and small fleets navigate this complex area.”
Aeromedic’s product range extends beyond basic first aid. The company also offers emergency resuscitation kits and universal precaution kits—critical in managing onboard infectious disease responses. Each product is developed with close attention to the operational context, whether defined by flight routes, passenger demographics, or environmental conditions.
In the commercial sector, Aeromedic’s clientele spans leading European and Middle Eastern flag carriers and low-cost airlines, each with tailored kit configurations aligned to their national and operational frameworks.
“Aeromedic has a specialist combination of pharmaceutical/medical and aviation accreditations and is one of only a few organisations worldwide that can manage the design, sourcing, manufacture, and supply of first aid and medical kits on a large scale,” Rowley concluded. “This knowledge is very reassuring to operators of business jets, whether they be high-net-worth individuals, FBOs, governments, or corporations managing the needs of their aircraft and their passengers.”
