Make sure your seatbelts are tight and be prepared to be left on the doorstep!!!

About a grand an hour? So with wait and turnaround, could work for around 3k return from IOM to Liverpool? Divided by 6 passengers, or maybe even 7 or 8 (I remember the one we flew had six seats at the back and three at the front, but if you fly solo pilot it leaves two more spaces, weight allowing) you're looking at between 375 to 500 quid a pop. Back of a fag packet calculation, though, and many transfer patients won't be able to fly on a helo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d need a bigger cab, like an EC145. Can be configured for either seating, or stretcher/ICU cases. But it saves masses of time. Direct lift from Nobles, or even from the scene, direct to the correct Centre of excellence. No hanging around in airports, transfer ambulances or taxis.

Non-Believer Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 With the number of patient movements we seem to muster a C-130 might be more applicable.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manx Mole Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 There is an impounded Q400 down at Ronaldsway and a few pilots rated to fly it who are just twiddling their thumbs if things got really desperate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolute no brainer. We have an in house patient transfer system direct from Douglas to Liverpool, plenty of room, virtually door to door.

Pretty sure that'll cost a tonne more to run than any aircraft type to carry enough passengers we send across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
