TRANSPORT OF PATIENT

Our aircraft, equipped as an intensive care unit, is flown to the closest airport near the patient’s hospital. A ground ambulance will take our medical team to the hospital to prepare the patient for transportation. This is done in accordance with the treating physician. Most importantly, it will be double checked if the patient is fit to fly. The patient and companion will be moved by ground ambulance to the airport, and carefully loaded onto the aircraft. During the flight, our operations team stays in close contact with the onboard doctors, to continuously update the patient’s condition to the family members, destination hospital and/or insurance.
