It is very difficult for a company to undercut a "not for profit" or subsidised organisation that can quote low and make up the shortfall by asking for donations from the public.
It's not really a level playing field and is a clever means of getting cheap airmedical services for the government by getting Mr general public to subsidise it with donations.
