AescuLink Civil Aviation – First class aid
With over two billion passengers a year, medical emergencies in the air all too common. Ever larger airplanes, longer distances and aging passengers all contribute to a continuing increase in the number of emergencies worldwide.
In the case of an emergency, an emergency landing may be necessary. But who can safely make this decision? Only an experienced emergency doctor is able to evaluate the risks with the pilot. Despite the occasional presence of a doctor, sufficient experience in emergencies is much rarer.
With AescuLink Civil Aviation, an emergency doctor is always on board.

- Logistical decision whether an emergency landing is necessary and which airports are suitable
- Monitoring of the passenger and hand-over to ambulance team on the ground
