Back in the decades of the 90's and late 80's, Carlos Ayala was the Director of Business Development for Latin America of Critical Air Medicine, then one of the largest privately-held aeromedical providers in the United States, increasing patient transports to the U.S. by 600% and providing significant sales and profit growth for the company.

With local bases in San Diego, San Antonio and Miami, Mr. Ayala personally coordinated the "First-Of-Its-Kind Medical Industry Event" in Latin America back in 1993 consisting of transferring (by ground) a LearJet 25 "Airborne Intensive Care Unit" from a small private airport located in Downtown Panama City to the main entrance of Panama's Atlapa Convention Center.

This air ambulance was certainly the main attraction at Expocomer, the international trade exhibition of preference in the Latin American and Caribbean region held at The Atlapa Convention Center in Panama City.

Expocomer is a prestigious international business event organized by the Chamber of Commerce. This is the ideal place for companies to exhibit services to local and regional markets, and introduce new products to the Caribbean, Central and South America.

The entire procedure was the result of careful coordination with key Panamanian government entities including The Dept. of Health, The National Police, The Dept. of Public Works & Safety and the National Aviation Administration, as well as local TV networks, which carried the event live on national television.

Carlos Ayala in charge of coordinating the parking of a Lear Jet 25 Air Ambulance in the main entrance of The Atlapa Convention Center in Panama City, Panama.

The above film lasts less than 15 min. The transfer of the aircraft started at midnight, and it took 3 hrs. to move from the airport to the main entrance of the convention center (including re-direction of traffic). The successful coordination of the entire event took over a month to plan.

Special permission was obtained to trim large trees as well as to build a narrow paved road with the proper dimensions and strength to move the aircraft from the main runway to a street called Via Israel, one the most trafficked streets in Panama City leading to the convention center.

Mr. Ayala was instrumental in developing in the 90's the largest air ambulance service network in Mexico and Central America, increasing patient transports to high level of care hospitals in the United States by 600% and providing significant sales and profit growth for Critical Air Medicine.
