The ambulance service uses isolation units especially adapted by Air Ambulance Technology for its fleet of Citation Bravo and Gulfstream 100 aircraft. The insulation system works with negative pressure, which reduces the germ load and minimizes the risk of contamination of the environment.

In the isolation unit, even babies and infants in an incubator can be transferred safely and without medical restrictions. Tyrol Air Ambulance uses Air Ambulance Technology’s incubator for such pediatric transports.

Tyrol Air Ambulance operates a fleet of seven ambulance jets for worldwide medical repatriations and runs a 24-hour Operations Control Center at Innsbruck Airport.

Manfred Helldoppler, Managing Director of Tyrol Air Ambulance, said: "With the possibility of transporting infectious patients, we are well prepared for the summer now that travel restrictions are lifted. The need for repatriations of Covid-19 patients is very likely to increase with the rising volume of travel activities.”
