Asian Sky Group (ASG) has signed a cooperation agreement with Beijing Red Cross Emergency Medical Center (Beijing 999) for emergency medical flights, the Hong Kong-based business aviation consultancy announced. Under the agreement, Beijing 999 made a long-haul EMS flight from China to Europe.
“As part of ASG’s range of solutions for our clients, we provide charter services which include those for emergency situations,” ASG managing director Jeffrey Lowe said. “For this particular flight ASG’s client contacted us to assist with an urgent overseas, intra-hospital transfer. To provide the reassurance and peace of mind the client needed, we provided round-the-clock, on-site assistance in Beijing for the departure to ensure the process went smoothly.”
Lowe said the mission was successful and demonstrated Beijing 999’s efficiency and professionalism, from arranging medevac flight permits to ensuring timely departure. “We are looking forward to conducting more EMS flights in the future with them,” he added.
Beijing 999 operates a dispatch center with 200 emergency medical lines and a fleet comprising two Airbus H135s, a Dassault Falcon 2000LX, and a Gulfstream G550.
