The patient was urgently transported from Reggio Calabria to Bari with the aircraft coming from Ciampino
On the evening of Sunday 4 February, a Falcon 900 of the 31st Wing of Ciampino urgently transported a 61-year-old man, in imminent danger of life (IPV), from Reggio Calabria airport to Bari Palese airport.
The flight was activated at the request of the Prefecture of Reggio Calabria at the Summit Situation Room of the Air Force Command, the operations room of the Air Force which has among its functions also that of arranging and managing this type of missions. To shorten the patient transfer times from the Locri Hospital (RC) to the Bari Polyclinic, the 31st Wing, one of the departments that carries out the operational readiness service, was immediately involved.
Emergency medical transport is one of the institutional activities that the Air Force carries out at the service of the community. The Air Force's flight departments are available to the population 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with vehicles and crews capable of ensuring the transport of patients, organs, medical teams and ambulances, even in complex weather conditions.
Hundreds of flight hours are carried out every year for this type of intervention, by the planes of the 31st Wing of Ciampino, the 14th Wing of Pratica di Mare, the 46th Air Brigade of Pisa and the helicopters of the 15th Wing of Cervia.
