We provide transport for patients to treatment in a fast, organized and safe way. Depending on the patients’ needs and condition, our certified medical staff can also accompany them. We also have necessary equipment for organ transportation, which means we often participate in saving human lives.

We can provide nurses and doctors, depending on the type and condition of a patient. Besides transport from one airport to another, we also offer the „bed to bed“ option.

THE HISTORY OF THE COMPANY

The Air Tractor company was registered in the Commercial Court on 26 March 1993.

The AN-2 9A-DAV aircraft is purchased in Hungary in 1993, and aerial spraying is done in the territory of the Republic of Croatia.

Increased business leads to the purchase of the second aircraft, AN-2 9A-DAM, from Ukraine, and also to operating with two, and eventually three AN-2 9A-DIZ aircrafts on the Slavonia territory on the North of Croatia.

In 1995 the company expands its activities and establishes a pilot school, purchases a Cessna 172 K 9A-DVJ which was registered in the States.

In 2009 the company buys the twin-engine aircraft PA-44 180 Seminole, mark 9A-DPY from the Air Krapina company. The pilot academy starts operating under the name PANNONIA PILOT SCHOOL.

In 2009 we purchased the C-150M 9A-DML aircraft from the same company. In the meantime the company imports the C FR 172 J aircraft also known as Cessna Rocket 9A-DDK from Belgium.

In 2010 the company purchases the S812 ELITE flight simulator from the UK-based FlightPass LTD flight school.

2011 is the year in which there was a need to expand the fleet, which led to the purchase of Socata TB-20 Trinidad 9A-DKZ from Switzerland, and in 2012, Cessna 152 9A-KZM which was bought in Italy.

2014 was the year of establishment of the company AIR PANNONIA for the VIP and medical transport. In the same year the company purchased the Beechcraft King Air C90 aircraft and invests in complete medical equipment for safe transport.
