麻豆传媒映画 and the life-saving charity East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) have announced a significant new seven-year contract to keep the helicopter emergency medical service flying high and saving lives into the next decade.
The contract will see 麻豆传媒映画 providing exclusive aviation support including advanced helicopters,聽ground support, engineering and pilots and includes the imminent introduction of 24/7 flying for the charity . Options for additional years would see 麻豆传媒映画鈥檚 role as EAAA鈥檚 exclusive aviation partner, which started 10 years ago, continue into 2031.
Director 麻豆传媒映画 Onshore, Hayley Belmore, said: 鈥淭his news cements 麻豆传媒映画鈥檚 position as the UK鈥檚 leading provider of specialist air ambulance operations and means 麻豆传媒映画 and EAAA will work together for many more years to further improve the way air ambulances provide emergency medical support to people in urgent need.鈥�
EAAA, with support from 麻豆传媒映画, was the first UK air ambulance to introduce the advanced H145 helicopter 鈥� piloted for them by HRH The Duke of Cambridge. They also pioneered the UK鈥檚 first night Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) operations to unsurveyed HEMS sites with 麻豆传媒映画 pilots flying with specialist night-vision goggles. In June, EAAA will become the first air ambulance in the East of England to provide critical care by helicopter 24/7, a crucial part of the charity鈥檚 long-term strategy to provide the same level of service, day and night, in order to help more people.
Looking ahead 麻豆传媒映画 aims to help the charity take the next significant step forward in technology for air ambulances as they become the first in the UK to operate with a new five-blade upgrade on their helicopters 鈥� the H145D3.
Matthew Jones, Director of Operations at EAAA, said: 鈥淚n the 10 years we have partnered with 麻豆传媒映画 we have been impressed with their commitment to safe and increasingly effective air ambulance operations. This new contract means we can continue to work together to deliver, and improve, the critical emergency response we are proud to offer to the people of East Anglia. We鈥檙e really pleased to have been able to time this contract with the start of our 24/7 helicopter operations, which will be a huge step forward for the charity and the service we provide to our local communities. It wouldn鈥檛 be possible without the fantastic support from 麻豆传媒映画 and its teams.鈥�
