The International Critical-care Air Transfer Team (ICATT) and The ePlane Company, leaders in urban air ambulance and compact flying electric taxi solutions, have announced a strategic alliance that has the potential to transform emergency medical response in India.

In order to ensure prompt medical assistance in every area of the nation, ICATT, which offers a top-notch air ambulance service in India, will purchase 788 air ambulances from ePlane.

The business added in a statement that the actual terms of the deal, which has a total value of up to $1 billion, will be mutually agreed upon by the parties closer to the delivery dates.

In 2022, India's traffic accidents claimed almost 463 lives every day.

The national 108 emergency helpline, which receives between 3,000 and 4,000 calls per state every day, serves as additional evidence of the tremendous demand for quicker medical transport alternatives.

By means of this collaboration, ICATT hopes to establish the largest air ambulance network in India, guaranteeing that no vital patient is denied access to life-saving treatment because of geographic limitations. In order to guarantee that ePlane's aircraft satisfies the requirements of the e-air-ambulance mission, ICATT will contribute its technical knowledge and operational experience. Especially in rural and accident-prone locations, this effort aims to drastically cut reaction times for the transportation of patients, organs, life-saving medications, and medical equipment.

The e200x, ePlane's flagship aircraft, is a very efficient, ultra-compact eVTOL (Electric Vertical Take Off and Landing) that provides safe, economical, and environmentally friendly air travel. It can land and take off in confined locations.

“Healthcare is a fundamental right and everyone should be able to access it when they need it. Here, we are integrating technology, health, and a very good cause so that no one is left behind,” stated Shalini Nalwad, Founder, ICATT.

Further she added, “This is going to be a very good solution in terms of organ air-lifts. Around 95 per cent of registered patient recipients die before they get an organ. This is purely because of the lack of logistics, not due to lack of donors. This collaboration is going to solve the problem and redefine access to healthcare in India”.
