Woodgate Aviation is Ireland’s longest established general aviation business, having been formed at Belfast International Airport in 1969. It is also Northern Ireland’s only King Air operator, with two in service since early 2017.
When compared to the rest of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland faces unique circumstances in respect of the provision of acute, specialized medical care. With a population of only 1.6 million, it is simply not possible to provide the full range of treatment as is available on the British mainland. The Irish Sea is also a formidable barrier in regards to time and distance. Therefore, in order to access particular hospital needs such as transplant surgery or acute paediatric coronary care, including full intensive care patients, an air ambulance service is the only viable solution.
