VIP Jets
Overview
Founded in 2008 and based at Don Mueang International Airport, VIP Jets holds the distinction of having the strongest medical evacuation focus among Thai private jet operators. While their fleet consists of a Cessna Citation Mustang CE-510 light jet, their specialization in MedEvac services makes them a critical partner for medical tourism patient transfers across Southeast Asia.
Fleet & Capabilities
- Cessna Citation Mustang CE-510 — Light jet with 4-passenger capacity and regional range (~2,100 km). Configured for both standard VIP charter and medical evacuation with stretcher equipment.
The Citation Mustang’s range covers the most common medical tourism corridors: transfers from neighboring countries and domestic routes between Bangkok and Thailand’s resort destinations.
Medical Capability

- Full MedEvac service with dedicated onboard medical team
- Stretcher-equipped aircraft with medical monitoring
