Full Description

Air Ambulance Services in Juhu

If a patient in Juhu needs to reach a hospital in another city, speed and coordination decide how smooth the transfer goes. Accretion Aviation runs air ambulance missions from Juhu and the surrounding areas of Vile Parle, Santacruz, Andheri West and Bandra. Our Mumbai office is in Vile Parle West, a few kilometres from Juhu Aerodrome, so the team is close to the patient and the airfield.

We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. An ICU-equipped aircraft with a doctor and paramedic can be activated within 2 hours of your call. For fixed-wing missions we usually depart from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, because it can handle the larger aircraft that long-distance medical flights need. Juhu Aerodrome is used where the aircraft and mission allow.

How a Juhu Air Ambulance Transfer Works

Call us with the patient's condition, current hospital or home address, and the destination city.
We assess and plan. Our medical team reviews the case and picks the aircraft and onboard equipment to match.
Ground ambulance pickup. A ventilator-ready ambulance collects the patient from the hospital or home in Juhu and drives to the airfield.
The flight. A doctor and paramedic stay with the patient throughout. One family attendant can travel along, subject to weight and space.
Hospital handover. A second ambulance meets the aircraft and takes the patient straight to the receiving hospital, where our team hands over to the treating doctors.
