Key aspects

For more than a decade Halo has provided critical patient care when it counts most. The team of dedicated pilots, an impressive fleet of aircraft and highly trained medical staff who are on call 24/7/365 days a year. Pilots and medical crews are highly skilled and have a reputation for their specialised delivery of emergency patient care.

Halo is just one of two South African emergency care operators who are certified to fly at night. The fleet consists of five rotary-wing and one fixed-wing aircraft, which are permanently ICU configured. Air ambulances are equipped for every conceivable critical care crisis and in any given month they respond to up to 150 emergencies.

Their advanced in-house emergency call centre uses sophisticated dispatching software, mapping technology and is operated by highly efficient HALO staff who appreciate that in a crisis, every second counts.

I sat down with Ryan Horsman, CEO of Halo Aviation. His passion for Halo Aviation and the patients they serve is evident.
