And survival is what the airline industry and its pilots are still barely doing in this mid-Pandemic world. But today there was some good news for at least one Belizean pilot. He's San Pedro's Captain Henry Salguero, the man tapped to fly the country's newest air ambulance. For Salguero it's an opportunity not only to save lives but also to restore a much-needed income to his family.
Captain Henry Salguero has accumulated in excess of 1,800 commercial hours of flight time, meeting the requirement to captain BERT's air evacuation program.
News of this new Air Ambulance for the Ministry of the Blue Economy and Civil Aviation came with an acknowledgment of the invaluable services that Belize Emergency Response Team (BERT) in partnership with Wings of Hope have been providing to the Belizean public over the years.
The Ministry also announced plans to increase the Wings of Hope fleet to meet the growing needs.
