Island Air Ambulance

Island Air Ambulance is a critical care air ambulance service located in Friday Harbor, Washington. It serves all of San Juan County and surrounding regions. The company describes its fixed wing medevac program as nationally award winning.

The program is accredited by CAMTS, the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems. The program was re-accredited on 8 April 2025 after meeting the highest standards. The company received the 2013 Fixed Wing Award of Excellence from AMTC.

The fleet is made up of Cessna Caravan aircraft that are custom configured for air ambulance service. The main air ambulance, Whiskey Fox, was delivered in July 2014. It has custom stretcher and medical equipment, an all glass cockpit and in air deicing for winter weather. It was designed for Pacific Northwest and San Juan Islands flying.

A second Caravan, Echo X-Ray, was bought in December 2018 as a backup air ambulance. It has extra seating and cargo space. It is not used for medical transport, and is used for on demand charter instead.

Island Air Ambulance offers a membership program for medically necessary flights. The program covers out of pocket costs. People who live on or visit the islands can learn how it works. Gift memberships and membership FAQs are also available.

The charter flight business is separate from the air ambulance. For a medical emergency, people should call 911. The company also thanks its crew members, publishes news and invites people to join the team.
