Airbot 1 Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Rumor is that the Air Ambulance contract is up for renewal in British Columbia and will be awarded to just one operator to crew all bases in the the province. Anyone hear any updates? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigSkyHeli 16 Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 The largest provider has been in business over 30 years. There have been numerous different Governments (Political Party’s) during this timeframe and numerous renewals of the contract. Regardless of the party in power, the Government officials have all had one thing in common. They cannot imagine having to travel on a Ferry to Victoria. In my opinion, it is naive to think that a winning bid, designed to best service the public’s interest, and taxpayer, could be awarded the contract. If you are not running a scheduled service to Victoria….GOOD LUCK. 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fly you to work and bus you home. Only difference is... the government worker is paid to take the slow ferry. LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
