The air ambulances are basically flying ICUs, transporting critically ill Kiwis to the specialist hospital treatment they urgently need, says Mark Johnston, Life Flight Trust chief executive.

The support deal provides for specialist teams onboard the trust's two aircraft and will provide health insurance cover for their air ambulance staff.

Life Flight air ambulances cover the entire country, transporting patients to the care that could save their lives. Each plane is equipped and staffed by specialist doctors and nurses and also has the capacity for up to four family members to stay with the patient all the way.

Life Flight fly four emergency flights on average each day and have already completed over 1,000 missions in 2021.
