When a loved one falls ill or is injured abroad, it can be a stressful and worrying time. Whether they are holidaying in Italy, receiving treatment in Germany, or living temporarily in Canada or the United States, the need to bring them home safely and quickly becomes a top priority. This is where AD Medical Air Assist comes in — providing expert medical escort flight services and commercial medical repatriation solutions to ensure patients are transported with the highest level of care.

What is a Medical Escort Flight?

A medical escort flight means a qualified healthcare professional accompanies a patient on a commercial flight, providing constant medical supervision and support throughout the journey. This is ideal for patients who are medically stable but still require monitoring, oxygen, mobility assistance, or even stretcher facilities arranged on select commercial airlines.

We support clients travelling from across Europe, including Spain, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Croatia, Greece, Switzerland, and Germany, as well as Canada, the United States, and the UK.

When is Medical Repatriation Necessary?

Medical repatriation is often required in circumstances such as:

• A patient is admitted to hospital abroad and needs to return home for ongoing care.
  
• A family member is recovering from surgery and is unable to travel alone.
  
• An elderly traveller becomes critically unwell whilst overseas.
  
• A patient requires transport home on a commercial flight with stretcher arrangements.
  
• Long-term patients abroad require assistance to travel to their home country or preferred healthcare facility.
  

How Does the Medical Repatriation Process Work?

At AD Medical Air Assist, we take the worry out of international medical transport. Here is the process in brief:

The family or representative contacts our team by phone, email, or via our website. We are available 24/7 to handle urgent requests.

We collect all relevant medical records and liaise directly with the treating hospital or doctor to assess the patient’s condition and suitability to fly.

Depending on the patient's health, we recommend the best option:

• Medical escort flight (with a healthcare professional on board)
  
• Commercial stretcher flight (for patients unable to sit)
  
• Air ambulance (for critically ill patients needing intensive care)
  

Our team arranges all necessary approvals with airlines, organises specialised medical equipment, and coordinates ambulance transfers at both ends of the journey.

A skilled nurse, paramedic or doctor is assigned to accompany the patient, equipped with all essential medical supplies.

We provide bedside-to-bedside care — collecting the patient from the hospital or residence and ensuring safe delivery to their destination.

What Role Does AD Medical Air Assist Play?

We manage the entire process to ensure a smooth and safe journey:

• Liaising directly with airlines, hospitals and medical teams.
  
• Securing all necessary documentation and approvals.
  
• Providing award-winning medical staff trained in in-flight patient care.
  
• Tailoring the transport plan to the patient’s medical needs, origin, and destination.
