Aeronautica Militare: double emergency medical flight for two boys in danger of life

Today the aircraft of the 31st Wing of the Italian Air Force carried out two emergency medical flights within a few hours to transport two young patients in danger of life and allow them to be admitted to specialized health facilities.

In the morning, at the request of the Prefecture of Nuoro, a 31 girl was transported aboard a Falcon 900 Easy aircraft from Olbia to Milan Linate. Subsequently, in the early afternoon, the same aircraft carried a young 28 year from Brindisi to Bologna for admission to a specialized hospital.

Requests for urgent medical transport, as always happens in these cases, are received by the competent Prefectures for the territory at the Top Situation Room of the Air Squad Command, the operations room of the Air Force which has among its tasks that of organizing and managing this kind of transport throughout the national territory in coordination with the Prefectures.

The flight-ambulance, one of the services that the Italian Air Force ensures for the community, requires maximum timeliness. Through its flight departments, the Air Force provides vehicles and crews ready at any time to take off in a very short time, able to operate in any weather condition and capable of embarking specific health equipment, such as thermal cots, or even an ambulance, as in the case of the aircraft of the 46th Pisa Air Brigade.

During the year just ended, more than 450 flight hours were carried out to provide assistance to more than 200 people in difficulty or in imminent danger of life.
