Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (Buitenland)

[RAdeR]

Your second helicopter is now operational in London
Boris Johnson said: “The delivery of a second emergency medical helicopter is down to the dedication, determination and generosity of countless individuals and organisations across London.”  
The G-LNDN registered MD902 Explorer is here in time to cover our current helicopter (G-EHMS) which is now offline for its annual maintenance  
This is thanks to the generosity of the people and organisations in London, including London Freemasons, who pledged £2 million to the campaign  
The annual running cost of the service has now increased to £6 million  
CEO makes plea to London to continue to donate to ensure delivery of 24/7 service

FULL STORY

Boris Johnson today hailed a “momentous day for London” as a second medical emergency helicopter was unveiled after a £4 million fundraising campaign.

The new helicopter will enable London’s Air Ambulance to extend its flying hours and reach an extra 400 critically injured patients a year.

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has tweeted his congratulations to London Air Ambulance on the launch of their second helicopter this morning.


The G-LNDN registered MD902 Explorer will be available to deliver London Air Ambulance's advanced trauma team to critically injured patients across the capital.
