Competitive Advantage
Kenn Borek Air Ltd. has its own airplanes and certified personnel in Alberta and British Columbia. This allows us to offer quicker response times than other companies who need to broker or charter private airplanes and secure credited medical personnel for each mission.
Another major advantage of Kenn Borek Air Ltd. is that Flight Paramedics and Registered Nurses are certified in advanced cardiac life support and pediatric advanced life support, and can administer medications, intravenous therapy, cardiac monitoring, and mechanical ventilator support throughout the transport of patients.
