Cows, too, fly by Rega helicopter
During the summer months spent in the alpine pastures, cattle, too, are among Rega's "patients". As part of the assistance programme for mountain farmers, Rega rescues injured, trapped or dead livestock from rough terrain and transports them to the nearest location that can be reached by an overland vehicle. Rega commissions commercial helicopter transport firms to perform this task on its behalf.
Rega's family patronage treats livestock in the same way as family members.
During the season in the alps, a special office is set up at Rega's Operations Centre to deal with these flights. It can be contacted by the mountain farmers, herdsmen and dairymen via a special Rega emergency number (044/654 32 70).
