LOT Polish Airlines Expands Emergency Response Capabilities

The initiative, part of the European civil protection mechanism rescEU, aims to bolster international emergency response capabilities. The conversion, awarded to Austria’s Air Ambulance Technology, will introduce advanced medical equipment and modular cabin configurations, allowing the aircraft to transport up to six intensive care patients or sixteen patients on stretchers.
