CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS WA AIRPORTS HELP KEEP US FLYING RFDS WA is grateful for the generous support received from regional businesses all over our great state, including our regional airports. Every year, our pilots perform around 16,000 landings, flying the equivalent of 200 times around the world in order to provide aero medical services to almost 9,000 patients. This means the landing and leasing fees at each airport quickly add up. At our RFDS WA regional bases, all airports either generously waive their fees or donate the fees back to us, which can add up to over $500,000 annually, providing a significant impact to our operating costs. We’d like to thank the following airports for their support and generosity in keeping the Flying Doctor in the air. » Meekatharra Airport » Broome International Airport » Port Hedland International Airport » Derby Airport » Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport Broome International Airport 08 THE FLYING DOCTOR MARCH 2018
RFDS Most Trusted Charity The Royal Flying Doctor Service has confirmed its status as the country’s most trusted charity, ranking first in the 2017 Charity Reputation Index for the seventh year running. RFDS CEO Rebecca Tomkinson said the news confirmed what RFDS supporters already knew. “As always, our supporters can be confident their donations are put to good use and that resources are managed effectively,” Ms Tomkinson said. “This is particularly reassuring for people to hear in tough economic times when supporting a charity can be a difficult financial choice to make.” The Flying Doctor achieved excellence across all facets of its operations to achieve the top annual ranking, released by research consultants AMR.
