improving access to health services to communities in rural coastal Labrador
through enhanced air transportation.
This
improvement will consist of a dedicated aircraft for routine transportation
(Schedevac) and a dedicated aircraft for medical emergency transportation (Medevac)
which will reduce delays that may occur with a combined service. The Schedevac
service will maintain its regular operating hours.
