Services

MCP lists ambulance flights, intensive care transport, air transport, ground transport, ECMO and IABP transport, and child transport. It also brings patients home from abroad. It runs a dispatch centre that is staffed 24 hours a day and speaks several languages. The centre checks why a pickup is needed, what care is needed on site and whether the patient can travel. The company also offers first aid and event medical cover, and courses in flight and transport medicine.

Aircraft and crew

The site says its ambulance aircraft work like a flying intensive care unit. Different aircraft types are used so the best one can be chosen for each trip. The fleet page shows a Learjet 45. The medical team on flights has intensive care doctors from internal medicine, anesthesia and surgery. They are supported by emergency paramedics and specialist nurses with flight medicine training.

MCP says insurers, clinics and large companies use it. It moves patients within Germany, across Europe and worldwide.
