SAS has announced:
We are proud to announce that the contract to fly medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) flights with war victims from Ukraine, on assignment from the Forsvaret – Norwegian Armed Forces and Helsedirektoratet, has been extended until November 2024.
SAS has converted a commercial Boeing 737 aircraft into a flying hospital with stretchers and medical equipment, allowing for transport of wounded and critically ill to hospitals across Europe.
Since 2022, Norway has evacuated 2,183 patients and relatives from Poland (on the Ukrainian boarder) to other European countries, including Norway. On 1 February, the Norwegian Armed Forces carried out their 100th medical evacuation in support of the EU and Ukraine.
