The network of IFR routes that our community has generously funded has saved countless lives across the lower south by enabling the Otago Southland Rescue Helicopter Service to fly in weather conditions that would previously have prevented a response. The routes provide a vital connection from local communities through to key points of definitive care for patients. We are proud to have funded this extensive infrastructure and sincerely thank our community for your support.
