What will be the availability of Island Air to conduct Air Ambulance or other pressing flights?
Air Ambulance flights will be limited to the specially configured Cessna aircraft (N707WJ) which, on occasion, may be dispatched on other flights or be unavailable due to routine maintenance. Island Air is presently working to secure FAA approval to utilize the Lifeport Plus stretcher system in a second Cessna 206 aircraft. Island Air has a veteran staff of qualified pilots and five aircraft that could be available 24/7 to perform pressing, non-Air Ambulance flights. These would be charter flights in any of Island Air’s aircraft.
