Hawker Beechcraft Plans MedAire Services On All New Aircraft

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."
