Business jets are often described as today's time machines. Time is at a premium for the influential customers that tend to use the aircraft. In the fight against the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, business aviation operators are utilising the advantages of business aviation to quickly move urgently required medical supplies to where it's needed most.
A distinct advantage over scheduled airlines is that business jets can fly to lots more locations worldwide. For example, in the United States there are only 500 airports served by airlines - but about 5,000 can be reached by a business jet.
As world-leaders in business aviation our customers continue to operate critical operations around the clock. Even in these unprecedented times, our Business Aviation Aircraft Availability Centre in Germany looks after over 9,000 engines in service worldwide, it operates 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
One of our large customers, NetJets, dispatched two of its Rolls-Royce BR710-powered Bombardier Global 6000s from Anchorage, Alaska, on flights to Nanjing, China, to pick up 5.5 tons of medical equipment for Mount Sinai Health System in New York, which is seeing rising cases of COVID-19. After 31 hours, including a stop in Washington to clear customs, both aircraft landed in Teterboro and have been unloaded immediately.
Operators around the globe are supporting the fight against the global pandemic. Our teams around Civil Aerospace, Defence and Power Systems continue to support our customers and operators with their mission critical operations fighting the global pandemic.
