Essex & Herts Air Ambulance (EHAAT) will get support from Harrods Aviation and London Luton Airport in a new venture.

Harrods Aviation is waiving all handling fees if one of EHAAT’s helicopters needs to land at London Luton airport and use the handling services of Harrods Aviation FBO at this base. London Luton Airport has also agreed to supply fuel at no cost in a similar generous move.

The EHAAT provides emergency medical services across Essex, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. As a result, crews can find themselves tasked to deal with an emergency at London Luton Airport or in the nearby area.

Will Holroyd, Harrods Aviation Sales and Marketing Director said, ‘we are very proud to be supporting the amazing and invaluable work performed by the Essex and Herts Air Ambulance. Of course, we hope to never see the ambulance at Luton, but if we do they can be assured of receiving immediate and full support on the ground from Harrods Aviation.’

In September, Harrods Aviation reinforced this new relationship by serving Champagne to invited guests at a Major Donor Event, ‘Flying to New Heights’, held at North Weald Airfield in Essex in support of the EHAAT.
