Who May Need Air Ambulance Transportation?

Short Answer
Learn who may benefit from air ambulance transportation and when medical air travel may be appropriate.

Air ambulance transportation is often used for patients who require timely long-distance medical travel when commercial transportation or ground medical transportation may not be appropriate. Individuals may benefit from air ambulance services when transferring between hospitals, accessing specialized treatment centers, receiving organ transplant care, or returning home after receiving medical treatment far from their residence.

Each transportation request is evaluated based on the patient’s medical condition, travel distance, and the level of medical support required during the flight. Air ambulance providers work closely with hospitals, physicians, case managers, and families to coordinate transportation that meets the patient’s specific medical needs.
