As of early 2026, the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) maintains a highly sophisticated fleet of approximately 80 to 85 aircraft stationed across Australia. This fleet is strategically distributed among more than 23 air bases to ensure that the service can reach anyone in the "Outback" or remote regional areas within a critical timeframe. The backbone of the RFDS fleet consists of the Beechcraft King Air (200, 350, and the newer 360 models) and the Pilatus PC-12, both of which are prized for their ability to land on unsealed, rugged airstrips in the middle of the desert. In recent years, the service has expanded its "jet" capabilities with the Pilatus PC-24 Super Versatile Jet, which acts as a "flying intensive care unit" and can significantly reduce transport times for critical patients between remote clinics and major city hospitals. This massive aerial operation reflects the RFDS's status as one of the world's largest and most comprehensive aeromedical organizations, providing emergency medical care and primary health services across a vast landscape of nearly 7.7 million square kilometers.
