On Monday morning at 08: 45, the operational hall of the 4 "ALTAIR" Regiment was alerted by the Bolzano government commission, which requested the intervention of a military helicopter to transport a heart from the Bolzano hospital to all Verona Villafranca airport.
The emergency response crew was immediately activated and, after only half an hour, at the 09.15 took off for the Bolzano hospital where the medical team and the delicate body were boarded and then redecollected to Verona airport .
Once landed, the doctors embarked on a "Falcon 50" aircraft on which he reached Berlin, his final destination.
This type of intervention is part of the capabilities that each Army Aviation department expresses through the maintenance of an emergency response crew, which can be used 24 hours on 24 to deal with any type of emergency or disaster.
Operations of this type are no exception, only a few days ago the intervention of one of our helicopters had become necessary for the nightly search at high altitude of a missing girl in Val di Fundres.
