The Pakistan Army Aviation Corps has received all six medical evacuation (medevac) aircraft that it ordered from the United States in April 2016, the US Embassy in Islamabad said in a statement on 31 March.

"Since November 2016 the Pakistan Army has received six Cessna planes: two Cessna 208 Caravans and four Cessna 206H aircraft.

"These aircraft will assist the Pakistan Army with their air mobility capability by enhancing the army's ability to conduct medical evacuations, as well as provide limited troop and equipment transport," said the statement, adding that the latest delivery took place on 24 March.

The US Embassy quoted Pakistan's Army Aviation Command as thanking Washington for the "generous contribution".
