What is a commercial airline medical transport?

It is a service where a block of seats on a scheduled commercial flight is replaced with a medical stretcher so that a patient can travel lying down with medical supervision throughout the journey. It is an affordable alternative to a private air ambulance for patients who are stable enough to fly commercially.

Who is eligible for this service?

Patients who are stable but cannot sit upright for the duration of the flight. This includes post surgical patients, those with spinal injuries or fractures, and patients being transferred between hospitals for planned treatment. Critically ill patients requiring intensive care are better suited to a private air ambulance.

What medical team accompanies the patient?

An ICU trained doctor and a medical technician travel with the patient from departure to arrival, monitoring vitals and administering care throughout the flight.

How much does a commercial airline medical transport cost?

The cost depends on the route, airline, and level of medical care required. It is significantly more affordable than a private air ambulance charter. Contact our team for a quote based on your specific requirements.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking as early as possible since airline medical clearance, seat blocking, and stretcher installation require coordination with the airline. For planned transfers, 5 to 7 days advance notice is ideal. In urgent cases, our team works to arrange the transfer as quickly as the airline process allows.

Is this service available on international flights?

Yes. Commercial airline medical transport is available on both domestic and international routes, subject to airline availability and medical clearance.

Can two attendants travel with the patient?

At least one able bodied attendant is mandatory. A second attendant can travel subject to seat availability on the same flight.

What happens if the patient's condition worsens during the flight?

The medical team on board is trained to handle in flight medical situations. The aircraft carries emergency medical equipment and the doctor can intervene immediately if needed.

Is the patient's privacy maintained during the flight?

Yes. The stretcher area is surrounded by a privacy curtain, separating the patient from the rest of the cabin throughout the journey.
