Air Medical Escort


Air Medical Escort


Medical Air Escort is possible if the patient is in stable enough condition to sit during take-off and landing and has a limited need for oxygen. The patient flies comfortably in First Class or Business Class on a major commercial airline and is under constant care of a member of the Medical Travel in Cyprus medical team.

The cost of this medical transport service is significantly less than air ambulance service via private aircraft.

After contacting us, our network of experienced doctors from various specialties will conduct a Pre-evaluation of Health Status by examining all medical records, determine if the patient is suitable for Medical Air Escort and give recommendations.

Ideal candidates include patients with:

  • Behavioral health disorders
  • Neurological disorders
  • Orthopedic problems
  • Minor ambulatory issues

Our Air Medical Service includes handling of all travel details
Prior to the trip, our Patient Transport Specialists and Medical Team work with you to develop an itinerary that meets the needs of the patient. We'll research the flight options, and after reviewing the itinerary with you, we purchase the airline tickets. We'll also arrange all ground travel from the airport in Cyprus.

Prior to the flight, our medical team does a complete physical assessment of the patient to ensure that the physical condition is stable enough for airline travel.

During the trip, our accompanying physician will be constantly in attendance, to ensure the comfort and safety of the patient during the commercial flight.

The service includes direct assistance during airport check-in, security clearances, aircraft boarding and deplaning as well as provision of all medical care, including the administration of medications, assistance with meals, hygiene, mobility, and other care issues.

Once the trip is complete, the patient will continue to be covered “on the ground’’ with our unique 24/7 Medical Support program.
