Medical Air Transport

Air Ambulance Charter,
Bedside to Bedside.

Icarus Jet holds exclusive rights to aircraft worldwide that are available for medical air transport, including three Citation Sovereigns based in Cairo and a Lear 35A in Athens. The trip support desk clears permits and landing rights while the medical crew prepares the aircraft, so one call moves a patient from hospital bed to hospital bed.

The Service

What a medical air transport covers

Every mission is flown wing to wing and bedside to bedside. That means a ground ambulance at both ends, a certified medical crew on board, and a dispatch desk holding the permits together while the patient is moving.

Emergency medevac

Last minute rescue and recovery missions. The trip support team acquires the permits and landing rights needed for the fastest possible delivery to the receiving hospital.

Bedside to bedside transfer

We arrange ambulances to and from the airport at both ends, so the patient is never handed off to an operator you have not been introduced to.

Dedicated air ambulance aircraft

Three Citation Sovereigns based in Cairo and a Lear 35A in Athens serve as air ambulances, on top of the wider charter fleet available for medical configuration.

Certified medical crew

The medical team is certified and experienced in critical care, trauma, pediatric and adult intensive care transports, and at-risk patients.

Permits and landing rights

The same desk that files overflight permits and landing rights for commercial trip support handles the medevac clearances, which is why the paperwork does not become the delay.

Worldwide reach

Icarus Jet operates at more than 3,000 airports with offices in Dallas, Dubai, London, Athens, Cairo, and Nairobi, staffed 24 hours a day.

How To Book

What we need to launch a mission

Booking a medical air transport is deliberately short. Call or email the desk with four things and the quote and aircraft options come back together.

1. Call or email the desk

Reach us on +1 888 277 7203 or info@icarusjet.com, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

2. The patient medical record

This determines the aircraft, the medical configuration, and the crew qualification required for the flight.

3. Contact information for the doctor

Our medical team speaks directly to the treating physician so the handover is clinical rather than administrative.

4. Contact information for the receiving hospital

We coordinate the arrival ambulance and the bed handover against the hospital the patient is being delivered to.

Request A Medevac

Tell us about the patient

Send the origin, the destination hospital, and the patient condition, and the desk comes back with aircraft options, the medical configuration, and a price. Missions are quoted individually because the aircraft, crew, and permits change with the patient.

Urgent or time critical? Call +1 888 277 7203 or email info@icarusjet.com. The desk is staffed 24/7 from Dallas, Dubai, London, Athens, Cairo, and Nairobi.

Integrity, Innovation & Diversity

Why families and operators call us

Our experience with the medical staff and with these medical air transport aircraft, combined with a diligent dispatch team, is what allows the service to run as one process rather than three vendors. With countless medevac flights around the globe, we have a successful record of transporting patients.

“I can’t say enough wonderful words about Icarus Jet. They solutioned a charter on very short notice for a medical emergency transport and handled every detail as if it was for their own family. Professional, reliable and trustworthy. Highly recommend!”

“We scheduled a flight from Mpanda to Kilimanjaro in Tanzania for 2 planes to transport a volunteer medical team of 18 surgeons and nurses. The planes arrived on time, the crew were professional and helpful.”

Questions

Medical air transport questions

What is the difference between an air ambulance and a medical charter?

An air ambulance is an aircraft configured with medical equipment and staffed by a medical crew for the duration of the flight. A medical charter can also mean a standard charter aircraft carrying a patient who is stable and does not need continuous care. Icarus Jet arranges both, and the patient medical record decides which one is appropriate.

Which aircraft does Icarus Jet use for air ambulance flights?

Three Citation Sovereigns based in Cairo and a Lear 35A based in Athens serve as air ambulances. We also hold exclusive rights to further aircraft worldwide that are available for medical air transport, so the aircraft is selected against the routing and the patient rather than against what happens to be nearby.

Do you arrange the ground ambulance as well?

Yes. The service is wing to wing and bedside to bedside, which includes ambulances to and from the airport at both the departure and the arrival end.

How quickly can a medevac flight depart?

It depends on the permits, the aircraft position, and the medical crew. Because the same desk files overflight permits and landing rights for our trip support clients, clearance work starts immediately rather than being outsourced. Call the desk with the routing and we will tell you the realistic departure window for that specific mission.

Is the medical crew qualified for intensive care patients?

The medical team is certified and experienced in specialised areas including critical care, trauma, pediatric and adult intensive care transports, and at-risk patients.

What does an air ambulance charter cost?

Medical missions are quoted individually. The aircraft type, the routing, the medical configuration, the crew qualification, and the permits required all change the number, so there is no useful flat rate. Send the patient details and the desk returns an itemised quote.

What medical equipment is carried on board?

Our specially equipped aircraft carry a stretcher, suction tubes, medical fluids, masks and gloves, wheelchair access, hemostest, sphygmomanometer and stethoscope, monitor, electrodes and oximeter, DC shock and pads, laryngoscope, connected ventilator, ambu bag, infusion pumps and detectors, portable and fixed oxygen cylinders, and prescription drugs. Requirements outside that list are sourced case by case against what the treating physician has specified.

What information do you need to arrange a medical air transport?

Four things. Call or email the desk, then send the patient medical record, contact information for the treating doctor, and contact information for the hospital the patient is being delivered to. The medical record determines the aircraft, the medical configuration, and the crew qualification, so the quote and the aircraft options come back together.

Which parts of the world do you cover?

Icarus Jet operates at more than 3,000 airports with offices in Dallas, Dubai, London, Athens, Cairo, and Nairobi. Dedicated air ambulance aircraft are based in Cairo and Athens, and we hold exclusive rights to further aircraft worldwide that are available for medical air transport, so the aircraft is selected against the routing rather than against what happens to be nearby.

Can a family member travel with the patient?

It depends on the aircraft and the medical configuration fitted for that mission, because the stretcher and the medical equipment take cabin space. Tell the desk at the time of the enquiry and we will confirm what the selected aircraft allows before you commit.
