An Air Ambulance is a specially equipped aircraft used to transport patients who need urgent medical care.
We staff these aircrafts with medical professionals and make sure they are equipped with advanced medical equipment, ensuring continuous medical monitoring and intervention during transit.
The factors influencing Air Ambulance costs
We’ve carried out hundreds of repatriations, all over the world. Every single one of these transports is different, but these factors always play a role in the cost of repatriation.
Distance travelled
The primary factor affecting the cost is the distance between the pickup location and the destination. Longer distances require more fuel, time, and resources.
Medical equipment and personnel
Air Ambulances are equipped with advanced medical equipment, and the presence of specialised medical personnel ( doctors, nurses, paramedics) is necessary to provide the required care.
Insurance coverage
Insurance policies may cover part or all of the Air Ambulance costs. It’s essential to check with your insurance provider to understand the extent of coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses you may incur.
Type of aircraft
Different types of aircraft are used for Air Ambulance services. The choice of aircraft depends on the patient's condition and the distance to be covered.
Urgency of the situation
Emergency situations requiring immediate response can result in higher costs due to the need for rapid deployment and the potential use of additional resources.
