Medical emergencies can occur anywhere in the world and at any time: on a cruise, a city trip or a Caribbean vacation. Nobody likes to think about it, but having an accident or falling ill during a vaction abroad can turn serious quite quickly.

​

While initial treatment is carried out locally, most patients want to go home as soon as possible to receive further treatment in their home country. The reasons for this are clear.

In less developed or more remote countries, good medical care cannot always be guaranteed, and people want to return to their home and family as soon as possible. In these cases, medical repatriation is necessary. In most cases, medical flights are required to ensure the patient’s safety during the transport back home.

​

Medical repatriation in an air ambulance

For medical repatriation, we provide a private jet or ambulance aircraft, depending on the patient’s medical condition and location. Air ambulances are equipped with the latest medical equipment and permit the best possible in-flight medical care with the shortest lead times. This form of medical flight ensures that our patients always receive the best care, and are quickly and safely repatriated.

​

Medical repatriation on a commercial flight

Using a commercial flight is often the most appropriate – and cheapest – medical flight option if the patient is stable and can be transported lying down.

Stretchers can be accommodated in aircraft by removing some seats. A screen separates the patient from other passengers, ensuring privacy. Patients are accompanied at all times by medical staff. Should any complications arise, our highly qualified team will act quickly to guarantee the patient’s safety.
