The ski season is upon us, and with the thrill of fresh powder comes the responsibility to ensure the safety of every winter sports enthusiast. As we embrace this exciting time of the year, we want to shed light on a crucial aspect often overlooked โ the potential risks and the importance of being prepared.
At Scandic AERO, we witness a seasonal uptick in air ambulance requests, typically involving stretcher patients with broken legs or hips. In our ongoing commitment to safety, we've taken proactive measures to address these emergencies swiftly and efficiently.
Our specialised aircraft, stationed in the heart of the French Alps, is equipped with double stretchers, strategically positioned to respond rapidly to incidents across borders.
This means that whether you're in France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, or any other location in Europe, our team is ready to pick up 1 or 2 patients and transport them securely back to Scandinavia or any other specified destination.
While our capabilities ensure a swift response to emergencies, prevention remains the key to an incident-free ski season. We implore every enthusiast to prioritize safety by not overestimating their fitness and skill levels. Using protective equipment, following instructions and signs, and showing respect for others on the slopes are fundamental practices that contribute to a safer skiing experience.
So, as you hit the slopes this season, remember to stay safe, be mindful of your surroundings, and enjoy the thrill responsibly.
We are here to support your passion for winter sports, committed to ensuring a secure and enjoyable experience for all. Here's to a safe and exhilarating ski season!
