Factors that decide the price
Over the years, EMS Air Ambulance & Medical Repatriation carried out hundreds of repatriations from foreign destinations all over the world.

- Medical equipment and medication
- Trained medical staff and crew
- Patient’s condition
- Urgency

Also, the time and distance should be considered. In many cases longer flights ask for more personnel hours and fuel usage. This makes it likely that a repatriation from Spain to the United Kingdom is cheaper than a medical flight from Indonesia to the UK. Lastly, the medical condition of the patient will determine the size of the medical crew that we send. And it also decides what medical equipment is necessary. This is why we always ask for the individuals needs and circumstances of the patient during our first contact.
