Ornge has confirmed that both their Toronto -based air ambulances would temporarily get out of minimum service next week.
In a statement, the Critical Care Transportation Service stated that one of his helicopters would be out of service due to maintenance for 48 hours, while the other air ambulance is out of service until July 18, also due to maintenance.
Orge said during this period, they would activate contingency plans, including additional organel land ambulances in Toronto to send helicopters from other bases with support.
The Ornge has helicopters out of Sudbury, Toronto, London and Ottawa that respond to calls throughout southern and central Ontario.
“We remain in regular contact with our helicopter manufacturer to ensure that the parts are distributed in a fashion as much as possible and reduce any delay.” “We are committed to ensure full helicopter air ambulance service as soon as possible.”
