Hello to all.

In these extraordinary times, extraordinary measures emerge.

Aviation without border a french NGO, AOPA, Dassault, JetFly, Michelin, Air Affaires, Wingly, and many other GA companies have put together a free service for medical personnel to be ferried where they are needed or to transport emergency supplies where they need to go.

Benefiting from the multitude of airports and airfields accessible to GA, aircraft owners and operators have volunteered the usage of their aircraft, for free, to allow this effort.

The rules are simple, a registered medical facility registers on the platform to request a flight, emits a mission letter demonstrating the necessity of the mission. 

Aviation without borders then matches the plane and the crew best suited for the mission.

There are no fees or costs.

The French DGAC coordinates ATC and airport or airfield employees volunteer to open the facilities where and when needed.

Total Aviation has volunteered to sponsor the fuel used for these missions.

This service is available in France.

 

This might give ideas to other countries to put in motion the same type of effort...
