What are worldwide Air Ambulance Services ?

Whenever a secure, rapid and economical medical evacuation is necessary, we can help. We also provide medical repatriation in our air ambulances from areas that have suffered a crisis, such as a natural disaster, and war zones, at short notice, dealing with all administration and paperwork for you. Many airlines, tour operators and other international companies already use our comprehensive medevac services.

Quick assistance is vital during personal medical emergencies or natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods or tornadoes, Our international operations centre is open 24/7, as is our tested partner network. We can provide medical repatriation in large-scale events as quickly as possible.

As well as arranging preventative aeromedical evacuation flights for your family, friends or employees, we can also medevac large groups from crisis regions and fly them to their desired destination for medical treatment. Passengers will always be accompanied by experienced medical personnel during the medevac flight.

Regions with poor infrastructure or areas inaccessible by land can also be reached by ambulance aircraft (we use STOL aircraft for rescue flights or evacuation flights, and/or helicopters).
