Medical Wings (Siam Land Flying)

Medical Wings is the air ambulance department of Siam Land Flying Co., Ltd. in Bangkok, Thailand. It flies its own aircraft from Don Mueang International Airport and moves patients across Asia and beyond. Siam Land Flying is part of the Charoen Pokphand Group.

Services

The company calls itself the ICU in the sky. It offers bed to bed air ambulance transfers for patients with urgent needs. It also offers patient escort services on commercial airlines within Asia and beyond. The service runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Most cases are critically ill patients who need intensive care conditions, such as heart attack, stroke, brain injury, serious trauma or high risk pregnancy. The medical team checks each patient before transfer to make sure the patient is fit to fly.
