Medical Equipment, Training, And Access To Doctors Included In
Purchase
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) plans to provide MedAire's
medical equipment, medical training and 24/7 access to doctors to
its customers on all new aircraft purchases. The program is
scheduled to begin with aircraft deliveries this summer, the
company said Monday at EBACE in Geneva.
"Hawker Beechcraft is serious about all aspects of customer care
and that includes their well being and peace of mind," said Shawn
Vick, HBC executive vice president.
With the delivery of all new Hawker and Beechcraft products,
customers will receive an onboard FAA Part 135 first aid kit
designed to address the most common in-flight medical emergencies.
For crew-flown turbine aircraft, the customer may choose to receive
medical training for its crew members provided by flight nurses and
paramedics with aviation experience and certification by the
American Heart Association or the European Resuscitation Council.
In addition, for the first year, HBC will cover the cost to
subscribe to MedLink Global Response Center, the aviation
industry's global 24/7 telemedicine service for direct consultation
and advice from board certified emergency care doctors. The service
also includes online medical and travel advisories to assist crews
in preparing for flights to more than 200 countries.
"Owners and operators will be in the safest of hands should a
medical event occur in flight, on layover or while traveling away
from home," said Grant Jeffery, MedAire CEO. "With access to our
online resources, specialized training and first aid equipment -
combined with a direct line to our MedLink doctors - a medical
safety solution will be firmly in place on Hawker Beechcraft
products."
