Multiflight has been awarded a new five-year contract to manage, crew and maintain the helicopters for the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS).

Multiflight has managed, crewed and maintained the GNAAS helicopters since early 2010 and has supplied the charity with two Dauphin Eurocopter AS 365 N2 helicopters.

Steve Borrowdale, Multiflight’s Managing Director, said: “Multiflight is delighted to be awarded the new five-year GNAAS contract and to be the company chosen to continue managing, crewing and maintaining the aircraft that the charity has purchased through us, delivering a complete turnkey solution for the customer.”
“GNAAS provides a valuable service and Multiflight is pleased to be able to help and support the charity.”

Kevin Hodgson, GNAAS’s Director of Operations, said: “The Great North Air Ambulance Service has been very impressed with Multiflight’s management, maintenance and team of helicopter pilots over the last year and we are looking forward to the next five years working with Multiflight.”
