Unburdening medical air transport
Medical emergencies are bad enough when they happen at home, but if medical evacuation occurs when you’re abroad it complicates matters significantly. Healthcare systems and standards of care can vary dramatically in different countries, but even if the level of care is acceptable, most people want to go home as soon as possible.
For these kinds of long distance patient transport, a dedicated international Air Ambulance is the fastest way to bring you back. Thanks to our worldwide aviation network we can repatriate patients from anywhere in the world.
Medical attention during every step in an International Air Ambulance
The patient will receive medical attention during every step of the repatriation. Furthermore, our medical coordinators make all arrangements for the discharge in the hospital abroad, take care of the paperwork and arrange a bed in the receiving hospital in the United Kingdom. We even arrange landing slots, and make sure an ambulance and medical experts are on standby at the destination airport. EMS organises everything that is necessary to bring your loved one home when a medical emergency happens in a foreign country.

Repatriation services
Different airplanes for International Air Ambulance
For longer, international or even intercontinental journeys, one option EMS provides is on a commercial flight with a Medical Escort. This can be a good solution for non-urgent cases and is more cost-effective than a Private Air Ambulance. EMS works with a number of trusted airlines that meet their safety standards, and will make all the arrangements required to deliver a bed-to-bed service.
The other option is by Private Air Ambulance. This is a more expensive option, but it comes with some unique benefits – and in some cases can provide a way home, when travel by road or on a commercial plane are simply not possible.
Do you want a lot of comfort and luxury? Then you can choose the Private Jet.
International Air Ambulance: the costs
There’s no two ways about it: a repatriation on an International Air Ambulance does involve significant costs. Not only does it require the aircraft and the medical team, but also a flight crew, fuel stops – as well as a ground crew who can take the patient from the airport to the hospital by Road Ambulance. To get a better idea of the costs, we set out here an indication about how much an Air Ambulance costs.
Pricing depends on a number of factors, such as distance, the patient’s condition and medical requirements, and also urgency. For the most accurate idea of costs, we recommend getting in touch so we can make sure we understand your situation and what’s involved. You can get a free quote here.
