FABIO IDE'S GIFT FOR HIS PARENTS: A HELICOPTER TOUR IN MANILA

Up, up and away! Philippines' TV celebrity Fabio Ide, who is currently the lead in GMA7's Coffee Prince as Leo (a  drama series which originally came from Korea) recently took his visiting parents by surprise... a helicopter ride with Airgurus Ltd. Co.

Playing the real-life role of doting son this time despite his hectic schedule in showbiz, Fabio took his mom and dad for a helicopter tour in the world-famous Tagaytay, where the world's smallest active volcano, Taal Volcano is sitting in between the Taal Lake.

It was both his mom and dad's first helicopter ride and both enjoyed the tour from Manila's coastal areas all the way to the mountain ranges of Tagaytay. Fabio sat with his mom and his dad got the special cockpit ride with Airgurus' Chief Executive Officer and Chief Pilot, Capt. Harry Lero.

 

Unfortunately that day, Fabio had an 11am appointment so we took off early instead of the scheduled 11am flight. Reaching Tagaytay, a very thick fog covers the entire Taal Lake make the Taal Volcano visibly impossible.

So, Fabio decided to take his parents for a very special breakfast date they ever had with him... breakfast at the world-renowned Antonios' Restaurant.

 

 

 

 

 

The fun ride with his parents did not end right after breakfast. Fabio Ide talked to the captain and asked if we could take them to see Metro Manila too!

 

 

It was a memorable day for Fabio and his parents... so happy that upon landing at the hangar of Airgurus, they still had wide smiles on their faces! Great job, Fabio... what a loving son!

MY LIFE IN THE MEDEVAC CRISIS MANAGEMENT TEAM

It's about time to say that I am very proud to be part of Airgurus Ltd. Co. the pioneers and leaders in air medical transport (Medevac / Medivac - Medical Evacuation) in the Philippines, Southeast Asia and Asia Pacific as the company continues to be the largest and safest provider of air transport services and medical assistance. Woot! Woot!

It's only been four (4) months since I joined the company and handled its' Marketing department (their first LOL ... online and offline) and now, I can say with great pride that we have become the largest provider of air ambulances (fixed wing and rotor) in the Philippines. Airgurus Ltd. Co. has earned a reputation of high safety standards and professionalism both nationally and internationally. Not a day goes by that we haven't been confidently and efficiently evacuating the seriously injured or sick patients from even the remotest of areas.... even far out international shores especially starting last month!

 
Many calls us for patients requiring specialized care, urgent surgeries needing to be transferred to hospitals with adequate facilities for their condition. Time plays an important factor for Airgurus' Medical Evacuation Crew thus; we provide rapid, professional care and transferring of these patients. Many at times already that I see ourselves in the team fully-dedicated to providing flawless professional air ambulance transport of patients to and from anywhere in the Philippines, outside international shores and other continents.

Airgurus Ltd. Co., uses the most appropriate means of transfer according to the locations, weather conditions and condition of the patient. Transfer is made possible either by our fleet of airplanes and helicopters. Critical care aircraft are all outfitted as flying intensive care units with all lifesaving equipment and medication. Our AeroMed flight medical staff are all highly trained to handle the most critical of patients whether they are on life support, have myocardial infarction or multi-trauma etc., providing dedicated critical care in the skies. Our service ensures continuity of quality care to all our patients.

For the past two (2) months, our clientele has expanded internationally. Our full time aero medical teams have started to provide coordinated "bedside-to-bedside" transfer worldwide. I found the team available to respond quickly to emergencies that within minutes of a call, all the necessary arrangements for that service is coordinated to the appropriate medical team, specialists, highly-skilled pilots while taking into consideration... the patient's best interest. Yes... the medical teams are chosen carefully based on the needs of each patient. 

It makes me happy and proud of my company and of the team when patients, their families, companies and other various organizations entrusts us to safely transport their loved ones, friends, clients, employees, etc. The praises through calls and e-mails have been overwhelming. The medevac crisis team management handles basic life support, advanced life support, critical care nationwide and now, critical care on international flights. 

At Airgurus Ltd. Co., I must say now that all of us has hidden wings... yes, I have grown wings too! Not all Filipinos know about medical evacuations / air ambulance's importance and benefits. Aside from assisting on medical emergency calls, it is my primary duty for the company and as a concerned citizen that I spread my own wings to let people know that all of us at Airgurus Ltd. Co. are angels... in our continuing quest for being the lifeline in the skies!

WHAT CAN YOU CHARTER A HELICOPTER FOR?

Airgurus Ltd. Co. is the leading helicopter charter and aircraft company in the Philippines with a 24/7 operations center at Delta Hangar, Domestic Airport Road, Pasay City.

The following are popular uses for helicopters especially for first time flyers as per Airgurus:

• Helicopter sightseeing.... perhaps over a local landmark during sunset.
• Helicopter flying lesson, often called trial lessons or air experience flights, when the customer gets a chance to try flying for themselves
• A helicopter flight to a wedding, perhaps one’s own!
• A helicopter trip to Boracay, Baguio, Palawan and many other tourist destinations!
• A helicopter experience, or short hop to just experience the magic of a rotary flight!

There are many other important reasons for chartering a helicopter... i.e., medical evacuation, air ambulance and search and rescue operations! Almost anything can be arranged if the prospective customer simply lets their requirements be known.

Points to Consider When Choosing A Helicopter Operator

• Helicopter flying is not cheap, but it may not be as expensive as some people think. 
• It is worth the customer considering what it is that they actually want. 
• If all that is wanted is to see what it feels like, it is best to look for a company which arranges the most number of helicopter experiences. 
• These may be very short flights of five or ten minutes, with a number of people aboard; so they can be done reasonably and economically. 
• If the customer has a special requirement and needs the helicopter for himself, family or friends, this can be arranged but he will pay accordingly.
• It is always worth shopping around and letting the helicopter charter company know exactly what is required.
• The customer will pay before the helicopter leaves its base.

A helicopter trip is very special. If it is planned carefully, it could provide a never-to-be-forgotten experience. Airgurus Ltd. Co. can fly you anytime you want, wherever you want, with as little as two (2) hours notice or even less provided an aircraft is readily available.
