New and enhanced online tools to mitigate travelers' risks

MedAire, an International SOS company, has announced the latest release of two online traveler resources, MedAire.com and the MedAire Member Portal.

The re-launched MedAire.com provides a focus on the business aviation consumer’s health and travel safety needs at www.medaire.com/bga.  The direct link provides visitors and clients with helpful information and relevant resources, including a Client Resource Center and a Knowledge Center.

“MedAire’s goal is to provide the business aviation community a source for information on mitigating risks to a traveler’s safety and health,” said Grant Jeffery, CEO of MedAire.  “Our focus on the well-being of the passenger and crewmember drove the redesign of the website.”

In addition to the public-facing resource, the MedAire Member Portal has also launched with new features and benefits.

An online resource for crewmembers and global travelers, MedAire Member Portal provides up-to-the-minute alerts on disease outbreaks, security concerns by location, helpful pre-travel advice, health risk ratings, vaccine recommendations, and personal security advice.

“We understand the unique challenges aircraft operators face to ensure safe transport of their passengers – both in the air and at their destination,” continued Jeffery.  “The enhancements provide a comprehensive view of the information travelers and crewmembers need to make informed decisions about their destinations – both before and during their trip.”

Enhancements to the MedAire Member Portal include integrated delivery of medical, security and travel information; new risk assessment overview by country, and convenient print/ email functionality to share important travel safety information with crew and passengers.

For a demo of the MedAire Member Portal, and an introduction to the enhancements on MedAire.com, visit MedAire at the NBAA Conference in Orlando, October 30 – November 1, 2012, Booth 1466.
