Medical transport by air between Africa and Europe
We organise air ambulance flights, medical repatriations and medical escorts on scheduled flights for patients, families, insurers and assistance companies. The right option is always a medical decision, made with the treating doctor.
Our services
Air ambulance
A medically equipped aircraft for one patient, with a medical team on board, for urgent evacuations and patients who need continuous care.
Medical repatriation
Bringing a patient back to their country of residence, from the hospital abroad to the receiving hospital, by the safest means.
Medical escort
A doctor or nurse who travels with the patient on a scheduled flight, when the patient can fly as a passenger but needs care on the way.

Stretcher on a scheduled flight
The patient travels lying down in an airliner cabin, with a medical escort.

Repatriation of remains
Bringing home the body of a person who died abroad, with the formalities handled.
How the right option is chosen
The patient’s condition sets the type of transport, not the other way round. Our medical team reviews a recent medical report, speaks with the treating doctor, and proposes the option that keeps the patient safe during the whole journey. On a scheduled flight, the airline’s medical service must also give its approval.
Our guide air ambulance or stretcher on a scheduled flight compares the options, and how it works describes each step from your call to the handover.
What every transport includes
- One coordinator for the whole file, reachable at any time.
- A medical assessment with the treating doctor before any commitment.
- A written, itemised quote, with the name of the operator of the aircraft: [operator(s) of the aircraft, or “our own aircraft”].
- Coordination with the departure and receiving hospitals.
- For insurers and assistance companies: work on a guarantee of payment, medical reports and itemised invoices.
