The three year contract will see the service provide a 24-hour year-round air ambulance link between the Island and the UK.

Terms were agreed with the operator following a tender exercise and detailed negotiations to secure an assured level and quality of service for the Island’s population.

The air ambulance medical team based at Noble’s coordinates the transfer of between 400 and 500 patients each year to the UK for treatment.
