Air Ambulance & Medical Flights

Medical aviation when every minute counts.

When medical emergencies arise abroad, or patients need specialist transfer between hospitals, our air ambulance service provides fully equipped aircraft with medical teams to ensure safe, comfortable, and time-critical transport. Available 24/7 for emergencies worldwide.

Medical Repatriation

Medical repatriation is the process of returning a patient to their home country for continued treatment or recovery. This is our most common air ambulance service, typically arranged when a patient falls ill or is injured while travelling abroad.

We coordinate with hospitals at both ends, arrange bed-to-bed transport including ground ambulances, and ensure medical teams are briefed on the patient's condition. Whether it's a straightforward repatriation from Europe or a complex long-haul transfer, we handle every detail.

ICU-Equipped Aircraft

Our air ambulance aircraft are equipped to intensive care standards:

Medical Teams

Every air ambulance flight is accompanied by qualified medical personnel appropriate to the patient's condition:

All medical crew are experienced in aeromedical transport and trained in the unique challenges of in-flight patient care.

Insurance & Cost

Air ambulance flights are a significant investment, but many travel insurance policies include medical repatriation cover. We work directly with insurance companies to streamline the claims and approval process. If you're arranging the flight privately, we provide clear, transparent pricing with no hidden costs.

For businesses with employees travelling abroad, we also offer corporate medical evacuation planning and insurance coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an air ambulance flight cost?

Air ambulance flights from Europe to the UK typically cost £15,000-£35,000 depending on distance and medical requirements. Long-haul repatriations can range from £50,000-£150,000+. Many travel insurance policies cover medical repatriation — we work directly with insurers to manage the process.

How quickly can an air ambulance be arranged?

For emergencies, we can have an air ambulance airborne within 2-6 hours depending on aircraft and medical team availability. We operate a 24/7 operations desk specifically for medical flights and understand that time is critical.

Does my travel insurance cover air ambulance?

Many comprehensive travel insurance policies include medical repatriation cover. We work directly with insurance companies to obtain authorisation and manage the claims process on your behalf, removing stress from an already difficult situation.

What medical conditions can be transported?

We transport patients with virtually any medical condition, from stable orthopaedic injuries to critical care patients requiring ventilation and full ICU monitoring. Our medical teams are equipped and trained to manage complex cases in-flight.

Can you transport patients on commercial flights?

Yes, for medically stable patients, we can arrange commercial airline medical escorts — a qualified medical professional accompanies the patient on a scheduled flight with additional seats for a stretcher configuration. This is a more cost-effective option when the patient's condition allows.
