MedAire, the International SOS Company that provides global health and medical assistance to over 50% of the world’s largest superyachts, many leading airlines and private jets, has announced the expansion of its dedicated yachting medical and security assistance service to Chiswick, London, within the London International SOS Assistance Centre.
The new Assistance Centre will work alongside MedAire’s US-based Assistance Centre in Phoenix, in a follow-the-sun model, continuing to provide 24/7/365 support to yachts.
This expansion follows the launch of MedAire’s Business and General Aviation Assistance Centre in London and will provide a seamless service for the many clients that rely on MedAire for health and security coverage across their aviation and maritime assets.
“MedAire has provided medical and security assistance to the yachting industry for over 35 years,” said Steven Bates, MedAire General Manager. “We chose to expand to London because the service delivery infrastructure is already well established, with access to numerous highly trained individuals, and London is of course closer to the areas in which our clients operate – allowing us to better leverage local capabilities and facilitate more knowledge-sharing between the International SOS and MedAire teams.”
