You can see a list of all current lifeguard flights here. If you’re interested in historical lifeguard activity in certain areas, contact us about a custom report.
That’s interesting…not that I would pay for it, but it would be fun to see what, say, Rochester, Minnesota would have for that activity for a month or more…
KSLC is home to IHC, Intermountain Health Care. A large regional Hospital chain. They operate their own aircraft, 4 King Air’s, 3 Augusta 109s, and at least 1 Bell 407.
The University of Utah Hospital also has 2 PC-12s and 3 various Bell Helicopters that are run under contract by Air Methods.
They both serve a geographically large area and the Hospitals have renowned burn, cardiac & pediatric care. Geography acounts for the large number of flights. Agriculture, Oil & Gas, and road accidents (50-80 miles between everything) gets people hurt.
I believe that Denver based, Air Methods is the largest Air Medical operator in the country. This happened about 4-5 years ago when they purchased/absorbed Provo, UT based Rocky Mtn Helicopters.
PHI would be 2nd largest Air medical operator in US.
I’m not sure your info is accurate. Are you including all flights that are AA coming from out of the country? we get on average 2 AA flights a day in FLL and MIA as well as FXE.
