Medevac Peak Season Starts Summer in The Philippines

Summer starts in March and is usually the beginning of Airgurus' peak season when it comes to Medevac operations in the Philippines. It doesn't end when summer ends though... Medevac peak season for us lasts  till the end of the year.

These are aside from the other services that Airgurus offers. Our priority however, is Air Ambulance and Medevac services.

Saving lives in the Philippines is never an easy matter for us. We make sure of our patient's wellness and flight safety in any weather condition. We work 24/7. We fly for medical emergencies anywhere in the archipelago, night and day.

Capt. Harry Lero: Air Ambulance Helicopter Pilot

Air Ambulance helicopter pilots like Capt. Harry Lero, chief pilot and President of Airgurus Ltd. Co., keep in mind that they must be at all times, quick and ready with his medevac crew.

Within 15 minutes of receiving an urgent medical evacuation call, Capt. Lero and his crew must be able to "wheel up". Even on ungodly hours, they have to be ready to respond very quickly and head for a mad dash to the hangar to prepare for a mission's flight plan, get suited up, ensure supplies and equipment, check the aircraft plus, everyone and everything else ready.

Being a medevac pilot, Capt. Lero can't be like most regular men. He can't afford to drink during any occasions, can't do late-night-outs, can't have weekends out of town, can't go on long vacations, can't go out of the country and most of all,  he can't afford to get sick. While most men and women would think he leads a boring life, it's not. He leads a most challenging life being a helicopter pilot and not just a plain helicopter pilot at that... he is a medevac helicopter pilot. Only a few people in the world can claim with certainty that they hold the balance of life and death in their hands.... not only claim it but save lives on a daily basis.  It takes more than helicopter pilots to perform the life-saving missions.  

As a medical evacuation helicopter pilot in the Philippines, Capt. Harry Lero, know how crucial it is to get a medically-ill patient to an apt medical facility as soon as possible. Not to mention, vehicular accident victims, battlefield casualties, people with critical cases. Aside from running an aircraft company, Capt. Lero's main job is to pick up patients and that he must be ready to pick up calls anytime and anywhere he would be in the Philippines. 

Each of the captain's medevac flight crew also includes his crew chief, a doctor and a nurse / paramedic. Most of the initial care has been performed by responding physicians and hospitals on pick-up location. The medical flight crew attends to the patient while on board the air ambulance. The crew chief on the other hand, ensures that the aircraft is always mechanically ready for missions and helps place patients. 

Capt. Lero carefully chooses his medevac flight team. All are highly-experienced in providing aero-medical care on the patient during transit. His crew chief is primarily concerned with making sure there are no objects near the aircraft when landing and taking off, checking around the helicopter for potential threats while flying and performing maintenance when the aircraft is on ground.  Combined with Capt. Lero's skills as a medevac helicopter pilot, the roles of his medevac flight team all work toward the same goal... to transport patients to the areas necessary for proper treatment while keeping the patient alive during the flight.

It has been long gone that patients will have to wait for the utmost care they need... that families will endure worrying for their loved one's condition in the country.  Nowadays, patients enjoy sophisticated medical care on Airgurus' air ambulance / medevac helicopters that function like flying hospitals. 

Capt. Harry Lero of Airgurus along with his medevac flight crew, leads a very challenging life....  takes their own lives to the skies to save lives in the Philippines.

FLOWER DROPPING SERVICES IN THE PHILIPPINES

Airgurus Ltd. Co., the leading helicopter and aircraft charter in the Philippines, launches its' Flower Dropping Services.

Funeral services have always been a time to say goodbye and to celebrate the life of someone we love. Nowadays, the modern funeral service is all about individuality. No two funerals need to be the same, since no two people are the same.

 
Once a family has decided on the basic structure of the service they want to have for their loved one (traditional, graveside, etc.), there are many ways they can give the arrangements a more personal touch. Just a few simple additions can make all the difference in creating a special event that best reflects the personality of the person and the things that were important in his or her life.

To grieve... to celebrate... to remember...
Each family should be able to utilize the funeral service of their loved one in whatever way is most beneficial to them. Be comfortable choosing to include something that might not be conventional or "traditional" if it was important to your loved one or if it will help the grieving and healing process of the family. Talk with the funeral director about your ideas and wishes, and they will be able to help you plan something that will be meaningful and memorable.

 
Airgurus Ltd. Co., understands the need of the grieving families to express personal feelings about the deceased, to reflect on their significance in other people's lives, and to honor their memory with a final tribute thus;  Airgurus Ltd. Co., and San Fernando Funerals partnered for celebrating life even after death. Flower Dropping is now an important service in funerals... making it special, memorable and meaningful.
