KRALENDIJK/WILLEMSTAD – Air Ambulance operator Medicair, part of airline EZ Air, has a new captain in the person of Neshomar Anthony.

Medical director René Winkel is proud “I am very proud of our local air ambulance crews who have worked tirelessly for twelve years to not miss a single emergency. Day or night, good weather, bad weather, between the islands or further afield to Colombia. These guys are always ready,” says Winkel.
