AirMed Asia Leadership & Experience

AirMed Asia is staffed and ready, 24/7, for air medical transports throughout the region. AirMed Asia is the only air ambulance program in Asia to be accredited by CAMTS, Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems, and EURAMI, European Aero-Medical Institute.

AirMed Asia based in Hong Kong aviation crewAirMed’s Hawker 800 aircraft is based in Hong Kong. It is U.S. registered and operated by U.S. licensed flight crews and staffed with Western-trained medical crews, meeting the same exacting standards as AirMed’s fleet currently operating in the United States. The Hawker 800 is Asia's only permanently configured ICU-jet and can handle virtually any critical care scenario. 

To ensure optimal patient care, AirMed Asia transports are staffed with medical doctors and nurses experienced in a wide variety of critical care specialties that may be required for adult and pediatric transports. All of AirMed’s medical team members are accustomed to and trained extensively in the complexities of air medical transport care.  

With decades of medical and aviation experience, it's no surprise that managing members of AirMed have compiled the finest medevac team in the world, and AirMed Asia is no exception.
