ALL three helicopters run by the Midlands Air Ambulance were back answering 999 calls this morning (Wednesday) after a day grounded due to safety fears.
It took more than six hours for Mississauga-based ORNGE to figure out if a land or air ambulance would pick up a critically ill Barry's Bay woman and transport her to an Ottawa hospital, her family says.
The charity said yesterday its helicopter operator Bond Air Services had grounded all its 20 Eurocopter EC135s as a precautionary measure pending advice from the manufacturer.
