Fractional Aircraft to Include Real-time Medical Assistance,
Equipment and Training
TEMPE, Ariz., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- As NetJets Europe(R) fractional
aircraft owners and passengers take to the skies over the next three years,
their flight crews will be more prepared than ever to handle unforeseen
medical emergencies.
Already a subscriber to MedLink, a 24-hour emergency physician
consultation service provided by MedAire, Inc., NetJets Europe has extended
the medical safety services it offers passengers and crew to include medical
training for flight crew and emergency medical kits.
"NetJets Europe set the international standard in 2000 when it added
MedLink services to its fleet," said Aaron Hawkins, managing director of
MedAire's European offices. "The additional medical training and kits now
offered by NetJets clearly sets a new standard for the industry.
NetJets Europe customers can travel anywhere in the world, knowing that the
crew is prepared to effectively address and treat inflight illness and
injury."
Under the three-year agreement, MedAire will equip NetJets Europe's fleet
of aircraft with aviation-specific Aircraft First Aid Kits and provide a
two-day Management of Inflight Illness and Injury training course for flight
crew. NetJets Europe will also receive access to MedAire's web-based medical
training courses for annual refresher training.
