RPM signs agreement with SkyAngels

RPM, a subsidiary of Response Plus Holding, will support SkyAngels’ medical evacuation (medevac) services as part of the agreement.

Under the terms of the arrangement, RPM has made SkyAngels its preferred service provider for air ambulance services across its operational markets, utilizing SkyAngels’ network of 135 light jets, 20 medium jets, 20 heavy jets, and 146 helicopters.

In return, SkyAngels has nominated RPM as its preferred service provider for ground ambulance and paramedic support services in the Middle East. The charity will also provide training to RPM staff at its facility at Norwich International Airport, UK.

“As the leading pre-hospital care and emergency medical services company in the region, RPM believes that our diversification into medical air evacuation is a natural progression,” said Dr Rohil Raghavan, CEO of Response Plus Holding. “Our MoU with SkyAngels Air Ambulance, who has proven expertise in the domain, is a step in that direction.”

David Polo Marks, CEO of SkyAngels added: “Our aim is to grow our presence in the Middle East, while servicing clients from across the world, including corporates, who rely on us for travel risks, crisis management and duty of care compliance. Our MoU with Response Plus Medical builds on our market presence in the Middle East and offers timely and effective medical evacuation solutions.”

RPM also signed an MoU with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited last year.
