Nevada Requires Air Ambulance Companies to Have State Permit

This permit grants AirCARE1 the authority to provide service to the state of Nevada. AirCARE1 is [...]
Focusing On a Good Experience
I do a lot of traveling. Spending many hours in airports. Recently I was in the Toronto airport on my way home after a long week of business travel. Going through customs as well as security typically takes hours (Nexus-here I come). This demands going to the airport extra early in case there are any hiccups.

Walking [...]

This is where air ambulances are more appropriate. Air medical transport is usually used [...]
