As we look ahead to 2026, one thing remains constant at Atlas Air Ambulance: our unwavering commitment to safety, clinical integrity, and responsible growth.

The landscape of fixed-wing air medical transport continues to evolve—longer missions, higher-acuity patients, and increasingly complex care environments. Meeting those demands requires more than expansion alone. It requires disciplined operations, experienced leadership, and a culture that prioritizes doing things the right way, every time.
In the year ahead, Atlas is focused on strengthening our safety framework, including the pursuit of additional aviation and medical safety certifications that further reinforce our operational standards and accountability. These efforts reflect our belief that safety is not a milestone—it is a continuous process of evaluation, improvement, and transparency.
We are also preparing for the potential addition of another aircraft to our fleet, allowing us to better serve patients while maintaining the level of care, reliability, and oversight our partners and families expect. Growth, for us, is intentional and patient-centered—never at the expense of safety or quality.
Safety at Atlas is not a checklist. It is a culture that guides every decision, from mission acceptance and crew training to clinical oversight and patient advocacy. I am incredibly proud of the teams who uphold that standard every day, and confident in the path ahead as we continue building a stronger, safer future together.
Jackson Skigen | President
