RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – Care Flight-REMSA Health announced it will be resuming its fixed-wing aircraft program this Sunday.
On Feb. 24, a medical transport plane crashed outside of the town of Stagecoach, Nevada, killing five people.
Guardian Flight will continue to be the contracted aviation vendor for the program and will continue to be responsible for aircraft maintenance as well as the training and staffing of pilots.
Since the crash, Care Flight officials say they have provided crews with comfort flights on replacement aircraft, allowing them to re-engage with the planes and ensure professional and emotional readiness ahead of a return to service.
