On Friday 3 October, a young man of only twelve, suffering from cranifaringioma and resident in the province of Palermo, was transferred urgently to the Meyer hospital in Florence to receive immediate specialized care.

A crew of the 31 ° Stormo took off from Ciampino airport (RM) where he boarded the patient already stretchered and stabilized together with a medical team and his mother.

On Tuesday 7 October two more emergency medical transports were carried out to help two patients awaiting transplantation: an 58enne from Brindisi transferred to Brescia and a sixty-year-old from Bari transported to Pisa.

At the end of the missions the aircraft returned to Ciampino airport where they resumed the emergency service.

The aircraft of the 31 ° Stormo of Ciampino are used for the transport of State and for missions of public utility, such as emergency medical transport of patients, serious traumatized and transplant organs, as well as for interventions in favor of people however in risk situations.

This last activity, given the imminent danger of life of the transported people, imposes a level of readiness twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year.
