Two more nights in flight for the 31 ° Stormo

06/05/15

On Monday, at the request of the prefecture of Naples, the Top Situation Room of the Air Squad Command alerted the 31 ° Stormo Ciampino Operations Room requesting the take-off of a Falcon 50.

The mission was necessary to urgently transport a man of 60 years, suffering from respiratory failure and awaiting transplantation, from Naples Capodichino Airport to Verona Villafranca.

The following night a similar call from the Situation Room of the Summit ordered a new take-off of the Falcon 50 to transport a girl of 29 years awaiting transplant from Catania Fontanarossa Airport to that of Turin Caselle for subsequent admission to the Hospital Molinette. As for the previous day, this time too, urgent transport has become indispensable in order to avoid the loss of the organ. The aircraft of the 31 ° Stormo are used in high state transport activities, emergency medical transport, transport of organs or medical teams, humanitarian missions and in general they intervene in every case of natural disaster. Their range extends throughout the world and their operation is guaranteed 365 days a year, 24 hours on 24, with only two hours notice.
