Gulfstream Extends Long-Standing Partnership With MedAire

TEMPE, Ariz. and SAVANNAH, Ga., May 2 /PRNewswire/ -- In 1989, Gulfstream became the first aircraft manufacturer in the world to include MedAire medical safety and preparedness as an integral part of every aircraft it built. Today the company extended its commitment to client safety through the renewal of its long-standing relationship with MedAire, Inc. .

As a result, every new Gulfstream aircraft will continue to include the ability of crew members to have direct access to the board certified emergency physicians within MedAire's 24/7 MedLink Global Response Center anytime during a trip, whether a medical incident occurs in flight or on the ground. Crew members will receive MedAire's exclusive Management of Inflight Illness and Injury training course as well as having their new aircraft equipped with MedAire's International First Aid Kit and a life-saving Philips automated external defibrillator (AED).

"We are constantly looking for and reviewing how we can provide award- winning product support services to our customers around the world," said Gulfstream President, Bryan Moss. "MedAire provides the industry standard in crew and passenger health, for which our customers see great value."

"Gulfstream's commitment to the overall safety of its customers and those who fly onboard their aircraft is extraordinary," said MedAire Founder and Chairman, Joan Sullivan Garrett. "We highly value the trust that Gulfstream places in our company."

This latest agreement runs through March 2009. The exact set of MedAire services and products varies by model of Gulfstream aircraft.
