COPA's Freedom to Fly Fund called upon again to defend aerodromes
COPA
After COPA won in the 2010 Supreme Court of Canada dispute concerning the issue of federal jurisdiction over aerodromes, legal counsel warned that our job may not be done. Counsel cited the likelihood of continuing challenges concerning what is in the core of aeronautics.

Organ transportation becomes big business for air medical services
By Joy Burgess
Although air ambulances focus their services on offering patient transportation, organ transportation has become big business in the last few years. For organs that require transportation over a short distance, a helicopter ambulance is often used, while fixed-wing ambulances may be used to transport organs over long distances. Many hospitals turn to air medical services for their organ transportation needs, since organ transportation involves a high level of coordination between facilities. Timing is crucial, which is why road transportation may not be the best choice when sensitive organs must be transported.
