For Avincis, TracPlus consolidated diverse operations into a single, coherent system, answering critical questions such as ‘where are my aircraft and what are they doing?’

AW139 aircraft, which provide emergency medical as well as SAR services from the operator's Colico base at Lake Como in Italy, will remain in Lisbon for around 10 weeks while the two-yearly inspection is carried out.

Avincis has been providing continuous services since first winning the public tender in 1993 when the first contract was signed between it and the Maritime Safety and Rescue Society. 8,500 people have been rescued.
