A Russian Airline — which was enroute from the Dominican Republic to Moscow — diverted to Bermuda at just past 6.00pm this evening [August 24] due to a sick passenger.
Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson Sergeant Russann Francis said, “At 5:04pm this afternoon, 911 Emergency Dispatch Center received a call regarding a flight diversion due to a medical emergency.
“Airport Duty Officer, Ms. Charlotte Bosch De-Noya, stated the Russian Airline Boeing 767 which was enroute from Dominican Republic to Moscow was due to land around 6:10pm.”
“The Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service emergency medical technicians arrived on scene where they carried out an assessment, prior to transporting the patient to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital.
“The flight will be refueled before continuing on its journey.”
I hope someone is keeping track or these airlines just like how Bermuda radio keeps track of the cargo ships. if we are close enough to divert to, we are close enough to service as well. we need cheaper shipping and air fairs.
Damn what a comment real deal.
Best to the sick person.
Humanity.
Just keeping it real Bro. Its real opportunity so I was hoping someone would be on top of it. I am sure they are fine who knows it maybe that new case of imported zika that just hit the head lines
Real deal I feel you but getting airlines here isn’t that simple. 1 or government has to approve and we know how that can go. 2 I’m just going leisure to use this airline as an example bit how many bermudians travel to Russia frequently 3 airlines don’t come here because we can’t fill their seats on a daily basis. Take United for example they are stopping theory service to bermuda through the winter because we cannot fill enough seats
A lot of the diverted aircraft are holiday charter flights rather than scheduled.
