Rivaling patient care in some of the finest hospitals, AirMed medical jets are equipped for virtually every critical care scenario. And unlike travel insurance or other medical evacuation membership programs, we have our own fleet so we can guarantee a quality medical flight and exceptional care across the board. AirMed invests heavily in the planes it purchases. In fact, the average price of our planes is $9 million. After the purchase, we spend anywhere from 60 – 90 days permanently configuring it as a state-of-the-art flying intensive care unit
. Our emergency air ambulances are used exclusively for medical evacuation, not leased for other purposes.
As an FAA-certified Air Carrier with worldwide operating authority, our flight department consists of Part 135 ATP Certified flight crew that are simulator trained annually and are type-specific rated. Maintenance professionals are required to release long-range aircraft for each flight and accept the aircraft upon return.
Unlike medical jets from other air ambulance companies, our long-range Hawker aircraft are large enough to provide a stand-up cabin so the medical staff can operate comfortably. Not to mention, there’s an enclosed lavatory for crew and patient family members. We have bases in multiple cities and affiliate providers around the globe, which ensures we’re never more than a few hours away. All this explains why we’re entrusted by renowned hospitals, such as Mayo Clinic, assistance companies and foreign governments across the world.
