Loganair har konvertert en Twin Otter og arbeider med å konvertere en Saab 340 for pasientfrakt.

A Loganair plane has been converted into an additional air ambulance aircraft, following calls to extend airlifting capability in the isles in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

The twin otter aircraft has been adapted to carry epishuttle isolation pods for the safe carriage of COVID-19 patients by air.

According to Loganair, more of these pods have been acquired and will be in service soon.

...

Loganair is also now working to convert a larger Saab 340 aircraft, capable of operating into all Highlands and Islands airports apart from Barra, to become an air ambulance with the capability to carry two Epishuttle pods and accompanying medical teams simultaneously. It is expected this aircraft will be available within the next seven days.
