Medical Aviation
Air Ambulance
Medically equipped air transport for patients who need it now.
Air Ambulance connects patients, families and medical facilities with operators running medically configured aircraft — equipped for patient monitoring, stabilization and in some cases intensive care during flight — for transport that a commercial flight or ground ambulance cannot safely or quickly provide.
Requests are matched to the aircraft and medical crew appropriate to the patient's condition, from a stable patient needing a monitored transfer to a critical case requiring an intensive-care configuration and specialist medical staff on board.
Because timing is often the deciding factor in a medical transport, coordination is built for speed: aircraft positioning, medical crew, and destination-facility coordination are handled as a single urgent request, not a series of separate bookings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What level of medical care is available on board?
Aircraft and crew are matched to the patient's needs, ranging from monitored transport to full intensive-care configuration with specialist staff.

How quickly can an air ambulance be arranged?
