The airplane crew of Sea-Watch Air and Humanitarian Pilots Initiative – HPI could today spot 2 rubber boats off the Libyan coast during a test flight!
The position of both cases was reported to MRCC and all people were rescued by SAR vessels shortly after.
Our plane took off at 6 o´clock local time from Lampedusa and flew around for only about 1.5 hours.
Astonishing what we are able to achieve as a private initiative – and the EU refuses to be able to.
