AMTRAS aeromed

AMTRAS aeromed arranges medical flight escorts and patient repatriation on scheduled airline flights worldwide. The company helps travelers who need medical support after an accident, illness, or when mobility is limited. It coordinates medically supervised transport from the starting point to the final destination.

The service is designed for patients whose condition is stable enough for commercial air travel but who still need professional medical care during the trip. A physician or qualified medical professional accompanies the patient for the entire flight. The escort stays from the airport counter until the patient is handed over at the destination.

Services include wheelchair service to the seat, help with luggage, and medical monitoring throughout the journey. The company can arrange oxygen during the flight using an approved mobile oxygen concentrator or the airline's own system. Oxygen from the airline system may carry an extra fee. Ground transport and collection from a hospital, nursing home, hotel, or private home can be arranged on request.

For patients who must travel lying down, AMTRAS aeromed organizes stretcher transport on scheduled flights. The company states that its pricing has no hidden costs. Sample price ranges for seated transport in Europe run from about 3,500 to 6,500 euros. European stretcher transport runs from about 12,000 to 18,000 euros. Long haul seated transport runs from about 8,000 to 16,000 euros, and long haul stretcher transport runs from about 35,000 to 50,000 euros. Each case is priced individually based on the route, travel class, ticket prices, and care required.

The client pays the full cost before travel, usually at least five days in advance. The company accepts bank transfer and credit card. Reimbursement by a travel or health insurance policy may be possible depending on the contract. Seated transports can often be arranged within one to three days after confirmation. Stretcher transports usually need five to seven days. Transports with less than 48 hours notice are usually not possible on scheduled flights because airlines need time to grant medical clearance.

AMTRAS aeromed reviews medical records for every case. Scheduled flights are not suitable for very unstable patients, including those with severe circulatory instability, artificial ventilation via a breathing tube, very high oxygen demand, acute spinal injuries, or certain bone fractures. When a commercial flight is not safe, the company may advise that an ambulance flight or another transport form is needed.
