The Hellenic Air Force will oversee maintenance and operation in support of disaster relief, medical rescue, inter-hospital transfer and repatriation to mainland health care services.

"The King Air 350 aircraft combines proven performance with innovative cockpit technology and an easily accessible cabin, making it an ideal medevac platform for the Ministry of Health of Greece," said Bob Gibbs, vice president, Special Mission Sales for Textron Aviation. "With the turboprop’s impressive short-field capabilities and custom-built medical interior, the Ministry of Health and its operating partners will be able to serve an enduring mission throughout Greece." The King Air 350C is similar to the regular King Air 350i but 'C' designates the optional cargo door at the rear which allows better mission flexibility.
