Ambulance

for the East Frisian Islands

Every day we fly sick or injured residents and vacationers of the East Frisian Islands to hospitals on the mainland with our ambulance helicopter

The East Frisian Islands are largely tide-dependent and therefore cannot be approached by vessels for many hours. In an emergency, sick or injured persons are dependent on rapid assistance by helicopter transport. Since 2008, we have been transporting patients by ambulance helicopter from the East Frisian Islands to hospitals and clinics on the mainland. Thanks to NHC Northern Helicopter’s ambulance helicopter, patients can be flown as quickly as possible to the nearest hospital for further specialized medical treatment in a gentle and safe manner. Stationed directly on the coast at the Norden-Norddeich airfield, fast access to the East Frisian Islands is guaranteed.

The ambulance helicopter is equipped in accordance with DIN EN 13718 and is on standby for ambulance flights daily from 8:00 a.m. until sunset. The missions are alerted and dispatched via the Kooperative Regionalleistelle Ostfriesland in Wittmund. The German state of Lower Saxony has granted NHC Northern Helicopter a permit specifically for the ambulance helicopter service in accordance with the Lower Saxony Rescue Service Act.

In addition to a pilot, the crew consists of medical staff, including two emergency paramedics. The ambulance helicopter flies over 900 missions a year.
