How is the cost of your air ambulance flight calculated?

We consider the following factors when determining the cost of an air ambulance for international and domestic routes:

Flight Routes

Medical Air accounts for distance between departure points and destinations. Our team of advisors calculate costs Individually depending on the necessary route.




Patient Condition

According to the patient's condition, Medical Air will select the appropriate medical staff and the necessary equipment. Patients are flown to their destination under medical supervision, either seated or lying down, depending on their condition

In some cases, an ambulance flight at sea level may be necessary due to cabin/ground air pressure, increasing the duration of the flight and the medevac costs.




Accompanying Family

Where possible, Medical Air makes it easy for you to have friends and family around during the ambulance flight. The total medevac cost also accounts for the number of accompanying persons.

Please let us know about your request and we will do our best to cater to your needs.




Ground Transport

It is often necessary to organise ground transportation via an emergency vehicle, such as the journey from hospital to airport. The cost of an ambulance vehicle abroad can often vary depending on where the patient is staying. Long ambulance journeys may be necessary, which will affect the patient transport cost.

Does Insurance Cover Air Ambulance Costs?

Insurance can cover the entire cost of the ambulance. Each case is reviewed individually to determine whether the medical repatriation or medevac flight cost will be covered by insurance. We are happy to discuss over the phone how you can lodge your insurance claim and the likelihood of service coverage.

We can arrange transport without coverage, allowing you to settle the air ambulance cost without insurance.
