Prioritising your Comfort and Care

For many years, IAS Medical has been providing fully NHS-approved air ambulance services from the UK and around the world. You can find out what our customers think by reading our air ambulance reviews.

Where we fly from

Our air ambulance services operate across the globe, offering medical transportation from the UK to many other countries across Europe, Middle East, North America, South America, Africa and Asia.

We can also provide air ambulance transportation to Hallwang Private Oncology Clinic in southern Germany. If you have chosen the Hallwang Clinic for your cancer treatment, our experienced medical team will help you get there.

Your comfort is our priority. To ensure we’re able to provide the care you need throughout the duration of your journey, we’ll fully assess your medical requirements. This allows us to determine whether you are fit to fly and enables us to make any necessary adjustments to how we fly. For example, we may need to alter the altitude we fly at.

We understand that you may want a companion to travel with you. While we always endeavour to meet this request, space is often limited on our aircrafts due to the medical equipment on-board. However, we will do all we can to allow one passenger to accompany you.

Passenger travel is subject to acceptance from our medical teams. We request that all patients complete a companion health questionnaire, which we can use to establish whether you are fit to fly.

To help keep stress to a minimum during this difficult time for you and your family, the following is included as standard with our air ambulance services.

1

Collect you from your hospital ward.

2

Get your medical notes together, and translate them if needed.

3

Arrange for you to be transferred by ground ambulance to our fully equipped medical aircraft.

4

Provide highly trained medics to accompany you to your destination.

6

Transport you from the aircraft to the destination.

Overview

If you need to arrange medical transport, the last thing you should be worrying about is money, so here at IAS Medical we offer all-inclusive prices to help you understand exactly what to expect. The cost of an air ambulance will depend on your individual circumstances, with prices depending on the following factors:

  • The patient’s location and the distance they need to travel
  • The type of aircraft needed
  • The number of medical staff required
  • The airport landing fees
  • The journey required by ground ambulance

The cost of medical crew

The overall cost of booking an air ambulance depends on various factors, including the number of medical staff required and the expertise needed to support the patient’s medical needs.

As an indication of how this affects the overall cost of an air ambulance, the cost of recruiting medical experts is as follows:

  • Flight Surgeons: £700 per day
  • Doctors: £700 per day
  • Nurses: £350 per day
  • Paramedics: £350 per day

The cost of our aircraft

Prices will depend on the type of aircraft you need to book, according to the clinical needs of the patient, the size of aircraft required and the equipment needed on board. Prices will also vary depending on how many people would like to accompany the patient on their journey, although this may not be possible depending on the patient’s medical condition.

For non-serious cases, there is often a choice of aircraft, in which case we will use the most cost-effective aircraft available.

The cost of airport landing fees

All airports charge landing and aircraft handling fees, which will impact on the overall cost of your medical transport. There may also be extension fees to keep the airport open, as well as aircraft de-icing fees.

We provide air ambulances from major airports right across the world, so we can get as close as possible to the patient’s hospital ward. We then use an RAF airport for flights into London, which helps to keep air ambulance costs as manageable as possible.
