Medical Air Escort

Commercial Medical Air Escorting is a service provided by Worldwide Medical Escorts to our clients that do not require an air ambulance. In today's economy, why pay the high cost of a traditional air ambulance when Worldwide Medical Escorts provides equal or better care! We offer worry free, comfortable, and safe travel for a fraction of the cost!

Regardless of whether a patient can walk, or is immobile and requires total lifting assistance, "One call does it all" to take care of the needs of your family member or client.

Our medical air escort staff consists of highly trained Paramedics, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Physicians, and other medical personnel

Our staff of flight coordinators will work directly with your primary health care provider, and assist them with obtaining medical clearance for travel aboard a commercial airline. We will also make any necessary arrangements for in-flight oxygen, or additional medical equipment that may be required during your flight.

If stretcher transport is not necessary, the patient will be traveling in a First or Business Class Seat, with our medical escort sitting along side so they can monitor the patient during the entire trip. First or Business Class seating provides the patient with maximum comfort as the seats recline back further, and allows more leg room than coach. It also provides the medical escort with more working space to accommodate any required medical equipment.

Every airline has it's own policies regarding fitness for travel by passengers. The patient's medical condition will determine if a medical escort is a viable alternative. Patients with some communicable diseases are not accepted for this type of travel, and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

As always, the safety and care of our client is our utmost priority. This service traditionally costs thousands of dollars less than a private air ambulance, and may be exactly right for what you require.

Aero-medical personnel, usually an accompanying nurse or paramedic, will supply monitoring equipment, bathroom and hygiene assistance, and all necessary aid as required. We take care of every aspect of escorting the patient to unburden the client of technical and procedural tasks involved in transport and travel.
