When a medical emergency arises—whether in France, Europe, or across the globe—timely and professional medical transport can make the difference between life and death. At Air Stretcher, we specialise in delivering air medical, ambulance, and medical escort services from France to destinations worldwide. Our mission is to provide safe, compassionate, and medically appropriate transport for patients in need of emergency care, critical care, or non-emergency medical transportation.
What Is Medical Transport and Who Needs It? Defining Medical Transportation Services
Medical transport services encompass a wide range of solutions designed to move patients safely between healthcare facilities, countries, or even continents. These services are essential for:
- Critically ill patients requiring ICU-level care
- Individuals needing medical evacuation (medevac) from remote or international locations
- Patients with mobility limitations or complex medical conditions
- Repatriation of travellers or expatriates to their home country
- Neonatal, bariatric, or post-surgical patients requiring specialised care
Whether the patient is being transported by ground ambulance, air ambulance, or commercial flight with medical escort, our team ensures the highest level of care throughout the journey.
Ground Ambulance Services – The First Step in Patient Transfer
From Bedside to Airport
Every successful medical transport begins with a well-coordinated ambulance service. Our ground ambulance partners across France provide:
- Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) vehicles
- Ambulance transportation from hospital to airport or vice versa
- EMS-trained personnel, including EMTs, paramedics, and first responders
- 24/7 dispatch and emergency response capabilities
We work with accredited ambulance companies and fire departments to ensure patients are safely moved from hospital emergency rooms to the aircraft, with full medical control and documentation.
Air Ambulance Services – When Every Minute Counts
Fixed-Wing
For long-distance or urgent transfers, air ambulance services are the fastest and safest option. Air Stretcher offers:
- Fixed-wing aircraft such as Learjets, King Air, and jet aircraft

Our air medical transport is ideal for emergency medical evacuations, trauma centre transfers, and international medical flights. We also support air rescue operations and aeromedical evacuations in coordination with public safety and civilian agencies.
