Air ambulance and ambulance flights from Antalya

When is an air ambulance the right choice?

An air ambulance is a dedicated aircraft equipped for intensive care. It is usually considered when a patient:

• needs continuous monitoring, oxygen or ventilation during the flight
• cannot sit or lie safely on a scheduled airline flight
• needs a departure time or route that scheduled flights cannot offer

For stable patients there are often other options: a stretcher on a scheduled flight with a medical escort, or a seated flight with a doctor or nurse. The doctors decide what is safe. We then plan the transport that fits the patient's condition.

How an ambulance flight from Antalya works

1. Contact: send us the patient's location, the destination and a short description of their condition, by phone, WhatsApp or email.
2. Medical review: with your consent we obtain the current medical report from the treating hospital. A doctor reviews fitness to fly and the level of care needed on board.
3. Written quote: you receive a written quote before anything is booked.
4. The flight: we arrange the air ambulance flight as part of the whole transfer.
5. Bed-to-bed: ground ambulance from the hospital in Antalya to the aircraft, the flight with medical care, then a ground ambulance to the receiving hospital and handover at the bedside. See bed-to-bed transfer.

One coordinator follows the case from the first call to the handover, so families and insurers always know whom to ask.

What we need from you

• Patient's name, passport or ID details
• Name and address of the hospital in Antalya or the region
• Destination city, country and, if known, the receiving hospital
• A current medical report or discharge summary, ideally in English
• Insurance policy and case number, if the patient is insured
• One family contact with a phone number

Insurance and costs

If the patient has travel insurance, contact the insurer's emergency line first and open a case. Many insurers need to approve a repatriation in advance. We can work with your insurer's assistance team and send case reports to insurers and assistance companies.

There is no fixed price for an air ambulance. Costs depend on the patient's condition, the distance, the aircraft and medical crew needed, and the timing. Every case is quoted individually, in writing, before booking.

Frequently asked questions

Do you arrange the whole air ambulance transfer?

Yes. We coordinate the whole transfer end to end: the air ambulance flight, the ground ambulances and the handover at both ends.

Who decides whether a patient needs an air ambulance?

The treating doctors in Antalya and the doctor responsible for the transfer review the medical report and decide whether the patient can fly and with what level of care. Stable patients may be able to travel on a stretcher or seated with a medical escort on a scheduled flight instead.

Can you arrange an ambulance flight from Antalya to any country?

Yes, we coordinate medical transfers worldwide between any two countries. Each route is planned individually, based on the patient's condition and the destination.

How much does an air ambulance from Antalya cost?

There is no standard price. Costs depend on the patient's condition, the route, the aircraft and medical crew required, and the timing. You receive a written quote before anything is booked.

Do you work with travel insurers?

Yes. We can work with your insurer's assistance team and send case reports to insurers and assistance companies. The insurer decides whether the transfer is covered, so please send us the insurance case number.
