Medium-care air ambulance transports – now by premium private jet
When it comes to cross-border medical transports, some patients need to travel under emergency conditions, with ICU-level support between hospitals. EMS offers medical transport by intensive-care air ambulance – a fast-track service on a specially-adapted private jet – for just those situations. Many other patients, however, are heading abroad for quite different reasons – longer-term treatment for strokes, heart conditions and cancers, for example, or for medical tourism. For these patients, travelling in comfort and with loved ones is a higher priority, but with the security and backup of a highly-experienced medical team to look after them during the journey. That’s why EMS is delighted to announce a new transport partnership with NetJets, one of the world’s leading suppliers of luxury private jets for international travel.
Medium-care medical support – with all the benefits of a premium private jet
Our standard Air Ambulance transports now offer advanced, bed-to-bed medical support on one of 760+ specially-chartered aircraft stationed across the world. The service is designed for anyone who needs to fly with medical assistance up to medium-care level – the stage between general hospital ward and intensive care.
Once a customer contacts us and we’ve confirmed their patient is fit to fly, EMS identifies the next available jet for the route and dispatches a doctor, paramedic, or team of medics, to collect them. On arrival at the local airport, the team creates a tailored treatment zone within the cabin area so your patient can be monitored and supported during the flight.
The new service comes with a wide-ranging package of benefits for patients and families:
High-quality inflight medical support
The bespoke patient area has space for a stretcher bed, plus all the medications and equipment necessary for the journey. This can include IV drips, heart monitors and concentrated oxygen – everything up to medium-care level.
Fly with family members
Unlike an emergency air ambulance, private jets have much more space for fellow travellers. Depending on the aircraft, EMS customers can bring up to 8 passengers with them on the trip alongside the patient and our on-board medical personnel.
Travel in comfort
The planes are fitted with all the facilities you would expect from a premium international jet service. This includes inflight dining with seasonal menus, on-demand entertainment and WIFI, and extra space for luggage. It’s even possible to provide satellite phones and private rooms if required.
Go short or long-haul, within 24 hours
With a fleet that operates from 5,000+ airports and over 200 countries, the potential routes are almost limitless. There are seven possible aircraft types, available for both short and long-distance flights, and we can collect most patients within 24 hours of their booking – wherever they are in the world.
