Aeromedical evacuation and coordination service
Airmedic is proud to announce the renewal of its agreement with ArcelorMittal Mines and Infrastructure Canada. This key player in the Quebec economy has placed its trust in Airmedic for the past 10 years. Our company, which specializes in aeromedical evacuation, ensures the safety of over 300 employees in Quebec.
Three-year renewal
The three-year agreement provides for an aeromedical evacuation service adapted to the geographical reality of operations. Over a distance of 420 km between Fermont and Port-Cartier, Airmedic will provide air medical coverage at all times.
Deeply rooted in the history of Quebec and the North Shore, ArcelorMittal produces and exports iron oxide concentrate and pellets for the global steel market. With over 2,500 employees, it is the largest employer on the North Shore.
10 years of trust
Indeed, ArcelorMittal Mines and Infrastructure Canada’s commitment to providing a safe and healthy working environment is a perfect match for Airmedic’s values. According to Louis-Philippe Loiselle Fortier, Vice-President, Strategic Initiatives and Business Development :
“Supporting companies in their quest to provide a safe environment for their employees, whatever the region of Quebec, is at the heart of Airmedic’s mission,” he emphasizes.
He adds:
“The renewal of this agreement represents a vote of confidence in Airmedic’s services and ArcelorMittal Mines and Infrastructure Canada’s commitment to its employees. This is why we are proud to develop lasting relationships with our corporate members. Our sustained efforts over the past 10 years have enabled us to offer the highest standards of quality care and demonstrate our expertise,” he adds.
Airmedic has several strategic points of service throughout Quebec. The company also owns a fleet of BK117 helicopters and Pilatus PC-12 medical aircraft. Thanks to this organization, we can rapidly deploy aeromedical evacuations, even in isolated regions. What’s more, Airmedic operates 24/7, flying day and night thanks to night vision goggles.
