Where is the AED located onboard?

The Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is strategically located at the G4 left hand side of the aircraft. This placement is chosen for optimal accessibility and quick retrieval in case of an emergency involving a passenger or crew member experiencing cardiac arrest. The location ensures that crew members can swiftly reach the device without obstruction, as the G4 area is designed to be less crowded during a flight.

While other locations might seem plausible, they may not offer the same level of immediate access and visibility required in critical situations. Overhead compartments, for example, may have stored luggage or other items that could delay response time. The rear galley, although accessible, is not the most immediate location in terms of reaching passengers seated toward the front or middle of the cabin. Meanwhile, the proximity to the cockpit does not necessarily facilitate rapid access to passengers who may require assistance in other parts of the cabin.

Overall, placing the AED at the G4 left hand side is a thoughtful approach to ensuring passenger safety during flights.
