Milestone Monday: Empowering Aviation Professionals with Essential Medical Training As we celebrate MedAire's 40th anniversary, we look back at a foundational moment that set the stage for enhanced in-flight safety and preparedness. In 1986, MedAire delivered its inaugural Management of Inflight Illness and Injury (MIII) Course to a corporate flight department. This pioneering course was meticulously designed to equip flight crews with the essential medical knowledge and skills needed to address in-flight medical situations effectively. By providing this specialised training, MedAire empowered aviation professionals to handle medical incidents with confidence and competence, significantly enhancing the safety and preparedness of corporate flight departments worldwide. This initiative marked a crucial step in our mission to ensure that every flight is supported by well-trained personnel ready to manage medical emergencies. The MIII Course exemplifies MedAire's commitment to innovation and excellence in aviation safety, setting a standard that continues to benefit the industry today.

Milestone Monday: Advocating for Enhanced In-Flight Medical Preparedness As we continue to celebrate MedAire's 40th anniversary, we highlight a significant moment of advocacy that reshaped the landscape of aviation safety. 1997: Joan Sullivan Garrett Testifies Before Congress - Paving the Way for Life-Saving Legislation In 1997, MedAire's founder, Joan Sullivan Garrett, took a bold step in advocating for passenger safety by testifying before Congress. Her testimony passionately argued for the implementation of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and advanced medical kits onboard commercial aircraft. Joan's compelling advocacy underscored the critical need for enhanced medical preparedness in aviation. This pivotal moment contributed significantly to the enactment of legislation in 2001, mandating these life-saving measures, which came into effect in 2004. Joan's efforts were instrumental in advancing passenger safety and setting new standards for in-flight emergency care, ensuring that airlines are better equipped to handle medical emergencies. Joan's dedication to improving aviation safety continues to inspire our mission at MedAire, as we strive to provide innovative solutions and unwavering support to the aviation industry.
