Annual Report 2022

Focus

What does it take to be on mission around the clock, all year round, in Switzerland and abroad? We highlight three topics in the current annual report.

 

Indispensable specialists in the background

To ensure that the Rega fleet is ready for action around the clock, 365 days a year, it must be in top working order. The maintenance of the aircraft is carried out by more than 50 specialists at the in-house maintenance facility at the Rega Centre. Thanks to their tireless efforts and expertise, Rega crews can take off whenever they are needed.

Instructors from within our own ranks

In the highly regulated fields of aviation and medicine, the training requirements for crews are high. In order to be ready for action at all times, Rega therefore needs not only a sufficient number of airworthy aircraft, but also highly trained crews.

Even more flexible in use

Thanks to the patient isolation unit (PIU), Rega can transport highly contagious patients efficiently and safely. Drawing on the experience gained from many missions, a project team developed ideas on how the tried-and-tested protection system could be further optimised – for crews and patients alike.
