Oyonnair and its Piaggio Avantis again in action for COVID-19 relief flights in France



As  a consequence of the impressive new COVID 19 outbreak impacting France, the Avanti fleet operated by Oyonnair has been again called back in operation for medevac flights.

Five Oyonnair's Avantis are unrestfully flying to evacuate COVID-19 patients from the congested hospitals in the major urban areas in north-eastern France, where a high number of COVID-19 cases are concentrated, to other cities less affected by the epidemic outbreak.

Since last week, the Oyonnair Avantis are transporting an average of 8 patients per day, hosting two patients and two medical assistants at a time over longer-distance trips a.

The Oyonnair's flight crews are operating under extremely stringent preserving sanitary measures.

The aircraft undergoes a deep disinfection after each medevac flight to make it ready and safe to host new patients and medical crews.
