Helicopter: The helicopter flight coordinator takes the calls on the 1414 emergency number, assesses the situation and decides whether or not to deploy a rescue helicopter. Other key tasks involve coordinating and monitoring all the active ongoing missions. On doing so, they maintain close contact with the Rega helicopter bases, as well as with the various rescue organisations, hospitals and authorities.

Jet: The jet flight coordinator takes the calls on the emergency number +41 333 333 333. They act as the link between the Rega medical consultant and the patient and their next-of-kin. Based on the recommendations of the medical consultant, the flight coordinator arranges the repatriation of the patient while maintaining close contact with the various crew members, the airlines, insurance companies and many other official bodies.
