Why is it important that AirMed International owns its planes?
Because when the chips are down, you want the smartest and most capable team on your side. There’s a reason that AirMed International is the preferred long distance air ambulance service for the Mayo Clinic, and AirMed teams have flown many missions for the U.S. Air Force. AirMed aircraft are specially designed to be flying emergency rooms, and our pilots, doctors and nurses (not contracted paramedics) have the experience and logistical ability to handle the most complicated situations in high altitude. Very few people really know how to do that, but we do.
