• Our experience in emergency medical flights

​

Air Alizé has been operating medical evacuation flights in the Pacific since 2005.  Initially, they were mainly in the New Caledonian archipelago and subsequently throughout the South Pacific region.

Based at the Nouméa-Magenta aerodrome, Air Alizé is located just 10 minutes from the main hospitals and clinics in New Caledonia.

Most of the companies carrying out Medevacs, in the region in which we operate, do not have their own planes and outsource this part of the mission to third parties. We are proud to be an airline that not only owns but also operates our aircraft specifically dedicated to emergency medical flights.

Our fleet, of 4 varied planes, allows us to carry out all types of missions, ranging from unpressurised flights on short unpaved runways to international high-altitude jet flights in very busy airspaces such as Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland.

Our Ground Operations department provides 24/7 support in-flight preparation, in-flight assistance and the coordination of all the services necessary for the accomplishment of a mission, allowing us and guaranteeing you a departure within 2 hours between flight confirmation and take-off for most destinations.

Air Alizé key dates and figures:

- Since 2006 we have made our planes and crews available to carry out SAMU flights throughout the Territory of New Caledonia and the Loyalty Islands. This contract represents an average of 700 flights per year.
- In 2009 Air Alizé won the Wallis and Futuna health agency's call for tenders for medical evacuations between Wallis and Nouméa and has since been their exclusive provider of Aircraft Ambulance carrying out an average of 25 missions per year.
- In 2011 Air Alizé was selected by the Social Security of New Caledonia (CAFAT) to operate emergency medical flights from Nouméa to Sydney. Since then, we operate an average of 1 to 3 flights for the CAFAT per week, which represents approximately 80 to 110 missions per year.
- Air Alizé has been working for almost 10 years now with Travel Insurance (World Travel Protection, First Assistance, On Call International, etc.) allowing them to evacuate their nationals from any island in the South Pacific to Australia and/or New Zealand. We carry out around sixty missions per year on behalf of these insurers.

In summary, Air Alizé has operated around 880 medical evacuation missions a year for more than 15 years.  This makes us and our operations, experts in the field of Air Ambulance.
