This enables AASI to expand air ambulance services for neonatal and pediatric intensive care transports as well as add additional international flights. As part of the collaboration, AASI will expand its operations to Ypsilanti, Mich. and assume responsibility for Kalitta’s medical leadership and patient care staff.
“We are excited about the opportunity to care for more patients and look forward to providing additional air medical services to all of our valued customers,” stated Tom Cox, AASI General Manager. “With more than 20 years in the business, AASI is pleased to add a full range of pediatric and adult critical care to our suite of services.”
All requests for domestic and international air medical transportation are facilitated by the AASI communications center, based at Centennial Airport in Englewood, Colo.
Together, Kalitta MedFlight and AASI are able to provide cost efficient, safe and reliable air ambulance services worldwide.
