MedAire Trip Ready now Available for Apple iPhone
Travel risk management advice and assistance is now available on your iPhone. MedAire’s popular app, Trip Ready, provides important travel safety information for pilots and crew.
Previously available only for the Apple iPad, the MedAire Trip Ready app provides users essential information about their destinations. Organized by ICAO, users can build their own dashboard to see medical and travel risk ratings, local time, current weather, and NOTAMs for each destination on their itinerary.
All users have access to further information on their destinations by ICAO airport code, including nearby lodging & dining options, conversion calculators (currency, distance, temperature), and a feature to add personal notes about their itinerary. A weather tab includes information on temperature, visibility, winds, METAR and TAF.
Users with MedAire Membership have access to even more features, including notification of events that may affect their itinerary or personal wellbeing, including disease outbreaks, protests, and natural disasters. In addition to being alerted of the event, users are provided a synopsis of the occurrence and advice to mitigate the risk.
“We refer to MedAire Trip Ready when deciding whether to accept a flight and making our go/no go decisions” Stephen Finch, Commercial Manager of Finesse Executive said. “With the MedAire Trip Ready app for iPhone, our crews will have access to critical information down route, allowing us to reduce risks to potential travel safety issues and add to the wellbeing of our passengers and crew.”
Enhanced features on the MedAire Trip Ready app for iPhone include the ability to call MedAire’s MedLink global response center directly from the app, as well as find nearby lodging and dining options by distance from your current location.
MedAire members have access to Aviation Travel Security Briefs via Trip Ready. The Aviation Travel Security Briefs provide an overview of medical and security considerations in the vicinity of the airport and may be downloaded and emailed to other crew and passengers.
The MedAire Trip Ready app for iPhone requires iOS 7.0 or later.
