Royal Jet recently partnered with German-based Epitop Medical to provide the first intercontinental transfer of a patient connected to a heart-lung machine.
The patient was scheduled to receive a heart transplant in Chicago on an emergency basis. A team of German cardiologists and intensive care nurses flew the patient on a specially modified Royal Jet Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) 737 to the maximum intensive care standards from Dubai to Chicago. The Abu Dhabi Health Authority (HAAD) provided all necessary logistical support to the mission.
Shane O’Hare, president and CEO, Royal Jet said: “This is another first in a long list of over 1,600 medevac missions we have carried out. Using the BBJ reduced amount of technical stops required for a transatlantic flight to the minimum of one stop in Glasgow, UK. The flight was completed in 21 hours.”
