AD Medical Air Assist provides professional medical repatriation from Europe to the UK and destinations worldwide. Our team supports UK holidaymakers, residents, expatriates and international patients who become ill or injured overseas and require a safe, carefully coordinated journey home or to specialist medical care.
We can arrange a medically escorted commercial flight for patients who are stable enough to travel in a seated position with appropriate assistance. Where a patient cannot sit upright for the flight, we can explore commercial-airline stretcher transport, subject to medical suitability, airline approval, aircraft configuration and route availability.
Our Europe medical repatriation services may be available from:
Destination availability depends on the patient’s condition, the local hospital, suitable airports, airline schedules, stretcher capability and the receiving arrangements in the UK or destination country.
A seated commercial flight medical escort may accompany the patient from the originating hospital or accommodation to the receiving hospital, care facility or home. The escort can assist with mobility, medication routines, communication, comfort and monitoring within the agreed clinical scope.
For patients unable to sit upright, a commercial aircraft stretcher may provide an alternative to a private air ambulance. This normally involves several rows of aircraft seating being converted into a protected stretcher area. The airline must approve the arrangement, and additional planning time may be required because not all aircraft or routes can accommodate stretchers.
