 Island
Air Gains FAA Air Ambulance Approval
Faster transportation to mainland hospitals is
coming for stable patients with non life-threatening
injuries or illnesses in the San Juan Islands.
Friday Harbor—based Island Air will be operating a
Federal Aviation Administration-approved Air
Ambulance service starting in February 2007.
Island Air's specially configured Cessna aircraft
will transport stable patients requiring only Basic
Life Support (BLS) — injuries and illnesses that do
not require extensive medications or procedures. The
aircraft is equipped to accommodate stretcher-bound
patients and the
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel who
accompany them.
