COVID-19: VINCI Concessions’ infrastructures in France mobilised for medical transport

(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 3-Apr-2020 — /EuropaWire/ — VINCI Concessions’ infrastructures are being used for the medical transport of medical equipment and sick patients from coronavirus, as part of the Résilience operation announced by French President Emmanuel Macron.

On 29 and 30 March, Grenoble Alpes Isère airport received four medical flights from eastern France, enabling eight patients to be transferred to Grenoble Hospital. The hospitals are currently identifying needs and availability to plan other possible flights in the near future.

In addition, two medical TGV high-speed trains from Nancy and Mulhouse took the South Europe Atlantic high-speed railway line on 29 March to transport 36 patients to hospitals in New Aquitaine. Some 20 employees of Mesea, the VINCI Concessions subsidiary in charge of operating and maintaining the high-speed rail line, were mobilised to take particular care in monitoring the transport and thus contribute, at their level, to this initiative.
