Air Ambulance Company Publishes Travel App

    CHARLESTON, SC, June 20, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Travel Care Air is excited to announce the launch of our mobile app, now available for free for all Android users. The app, designed to help frequent travelers, will also be available for Apple products later this summer.

The app has three main components that will be useful for travelers. The app includes the ability to track GPS locations, travel alerts from the US Department of State and up to date airport delay information.

"We're excited to provide useful information for travelers in our new app," Travel Care Owner Ron Schaberg said. "We know, based on the calls we get from travelers who need an air ambulance that the information available in our app will be extremely useful in one way or another."

The GPS tracker is especially important for travelers who are visiting remote areas. GPS can be used in situations where a hiker becomes injured or if someone is lost in a foreign country. Data or internet connections are required for GPS, however the app should still function if roaming.

Another useful tool is the up to date information on any airport in the United States. With an airport code a user can find out if there are any delays at the airport, the average length of delay, and what the weather is like. With this app, travelers can plan ahead of time and know what to expect before leaving on a long flight, reducing the risk of missing a flight.

The app also provides the most up to date travel alerts from the Department of State. Users can have one click access to any health, political or weather issues in every country around the world. Users can also have one click access to the mobile website for Flight Tracker, giving users information on specific flights.

The app also includes easy clicks to reach Travel Care. "If a traveler has an accident or health emergency, this mobile app will provide one click access to our mobile website and phone number to reach our air ambulance services," Schaberg said. Travel Care's mobile website also includes additional travel information, like news, weather and booking options for flights and hotels.

Travel Care is one of the few air ambulance companies with its own mobile app. Just one other air ambulance company in the world has a mobile app, with similar features. Travel Care develop this app over several months after studying what our clients needed the most when traveling. The features in the app were created based on stories from people that have been served by Travel Care's international air ambulance services over the past 18 months.

The app is currently available only in the Google Play store for Android users. The app will be available in the iTunes store later this month. The app is free to download and works on several thousand devices.
