Air Ambulance Flights

Emergency situations are a speciality of EchoJet. With a wealth of experience and relationships in every corner of the globe, we are able to react quickly and expertly and have an air ambulance or repatriation flight in the air within a matter of hours.
Just this week a medical transport company got in touch. Sadly they had a terminally ill patient they were desperately trying to repatriate to be close to family and in familiar surroundings at his passing. Having spoken with several of their own partner operators, they were struggling to get anything that could perform the air ambulance flight within 72 hours.
Our Managing Director, Nina Smith, received the call at 19:00 while in restaurant in the Wildschonau valley of Austria. By the time she had eaten her food and drank her beer she had located three aircraft that could perform the trip the very next day.
Working closely with our partner operators, Nina managed to arrange for the ICU patient to be picked up from the hospital in Salzburg, taken to the airport and boarded safely onto the air ambulance, all while being closely monitored by the onboard Doctor and medical team. The patient arrived safe and sound back home in Rotterdam by 16:00 the next day.
The whole mission was performed successfully and compassionately within 24 hours of receiving the initial enquiry.
Air ambulance flights like these are of particular importance to us as there are so many factors to consider. The onboard medical crew being transported to both hospitals to oversee the patient’s care and wellbeing: coordinating the ground ambulances used to transport the patient: ensuring the patient’s companion is looked after: and, most importantly, doing our utmost to ensure the patient arrives safe and sound at his or her destination without delay and with as little distress as possible.
During the busy summer months, we find that we may do as many as two or three Air Ambulance Flights a week. It is a speciality that we take very seriously and take pride in. If you ever find yourself in a difficult situation, no matter when, where or how. Get in touch. We are sure we will be able to help.
