6) Do you specialize in ambulance or cargo?
We do not offer cargo or high-risk patient medevac trips, but we do get involved in medical tourism. For example, people traveling for medical treatment in a foreign country where the need for a fully equipped medevac aircraft is not required, but the customers still want to travel in comfort, perhaps with their doctor or family.
7) Fun stories or narratives to share:
In the UK, there’s a phrase “He/She could sell sand to the Arabs,” meaning they could sell anything to anyone. As mentioned before, I started as a cargo flight manager and accompanied cargo to various destinations. This included transporting anything from car parts, horses, luxury cars and even 5-day-old chickens. Imagine my surprise when I was told we would be taking sand from Europe to Arabia. I actually thought my Ops team was winding me up. But, yes, someone had finally sold sand to the Arabs and I was the one transporting it. As it happens, we transported 10 tonnes of high silica content sand, which is used for glass making, on a 3-hour trip from Italy to Cairo. I will always remember that trip.
