The US carrier Horizon Air, based in Seattle, is set to equip
its entire fleet of 60 regional aircraft with defibrillators
and medical kits to deal with in-flight heart attack
emergencies.

Horizon is making the move two years ahead of a US Federal
Aviation Administration deadline requiring any US commercial
plane of at least 7,500 pounds and carrying at least one
flight attendant to install the life-saving equipment.
