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.
