What exactly is an air ambulance, and how does it work?

Air ambulances are specially equipped aircraft designed to transport critically ill or injured patients. These aircraft are fitted with medical equipment and a stretcher, replacing part of the standard passenger seating. A highly trained medical team is on board, ensuring the patient receives continuous care throughout the journey. This includes specialized medical equipment, patient-specific medications, and life-saving interventions, making air ambulances similar to flying intensive care units. Additionally, there is often space for family members to accompany the patient during the flight, providing comfort and support during transport.

Who might require the services of an air ambulance?

Air ambulances are ideal for patients who need to travel long distances while requiring specialized medical care during transit. They are especially beneficial for elderly individuals who may not be able to endure the physical and emotional stress of commercial air travel or the challenges of navigating busy airports and security procedures. Our air ambulance service provides a safer, more comfortable alternative for these patients.
