Service Co. was established to unite all of these
companies under one banner. The following
year, it changed its name to Ornge. Today, the
company serves a territory consisting of 13
million people and aids more than 18,000

major factor in its success. The company possesses 10
Pilatus Next Generation PC-12 airplanes.
Organizations such as the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police and Australia’s Royal Flying Doctor Service
utilize them as air ambulances due to their ability to
reach remote areas. Ornge's 15 helicopters include
Sikorsky S76s and AgustaWestland AW-139s. The latter
transport assists fire and police departments in
California, Maryland, New Jersey, and Vancouver.
For ground transportation, Ornge maintains 18
