On the afternoon of April 3, Dalian Airlines flight CA8972 from Chengdu to Dalian landed smoothly at Dalian Zhoushuizi Airport.

An injured passenger who had multiple fractures all over his body and needed to be transferred to hospital for treatment, under the special care of Dalian Airlines, successfully arrived in Dalian.

　　At about 15:00 on April 1, Dalian Airlines received a call and learned that 64-year-old Yu and her husband accidentally fell while visiting Mount Emei. The local hospital diagnosed multiple fractures throughout the body.

Taking into account the long recovery period of treatment and the inconvenience for family members to travel between different places, I decided to return to Dalian to continue treatment.

However, because Ms. Yu was unable to sit up due to multiple plasterboards all over her body, she needed to use a stretcher to take the flight. The extremely anxious passengers and their families applied to Air China and Dalian Airlines for help.

　　After learning of the news, Dalian Airlines immediately organized a consultation to conduct research and judgment.

On the evening of April 2, the engineers used the post-flight time to disassemble the rear three rows of seats of the plane parked in Dalian overnight, and installed stretchers on the plane in a seamless manner, repeatedly confirming the firmness and safety of the stretchers on the plane. Prepare for the normal operation of the next day's flight.

As the Boeing 737-800 aircraft cannot use the stretcher lifting platform vehicle, after full coordination and communication, it was decided to use the manual lifting method to transfer the stretcher passengers.

　　On the afternoon of the 3rd, the airport passenger elevators, ambulances and on-site staff coordinated by Dalian Airlines in advance have been waiting in advance on the apron to prepare.

After the flight landed, medical staff and ground staff entered the cabin in an orderly manner. Under the command of professionals, Dalian Airlines and Dalian Airport on-site support staff placed the stretcher passengers on the medical stretcher and lifted them off the plane, and transferred them to the ambulance safely. Go to the hospital for follow-up treatment.
