Repatriate with Confidence: Your Medical Transport Solution Across Europe 

A medical emergency abroad can be overwhelming—especially when it happens far from home. Whether you’re recovering from surgery in Rome, hospitalized in Berlin, or injured while traveling in Barcelona, getting back to your home country safely and medically supported is essential. 

Air Stretcher offers a trusted solution for medical repatriation across Europe. We specialize in transporting patients on commercial flights, equipped with stretchers, medical equipment, and accompanied by certified medical personnel such as paramedics, EMTs, and flight nurses. Our service is designed for those who need critical care, advanced life support, or simply cannot travel alone due to a medical condition. 

We operate in partnership with major European airlines including Air France, KLM, and Lufthansa, which allow stretcher installations on board for medically necessary transport. These carriers serve key hubs such as Paris Charles de Gaulle, Amsterdam Schiphol, and Frankfurt International, enabling efficient coordination for patients across Europe.

How Our Medical Transport Service Works 

Each mission is carefully planned and executed by our medical team and dispatchers, ensuring the highest standards of aviation safety and patient care. 

1. Medical Assessment: We evaluate the patient’s condition and determine eligibility for commercial flight transport. 

1. Coordination: We liaise with hospitals, airlines (Air France, KLM, Lufthansa), and ambulance companies across Europe. 

1. Installation: A stretcher is installed in the aircraft cabin, along with necessary medical equipment. 

1. Escort: The patient is accompanied by a flight paramedic, EMT, or respiratory therapist. 

1. Arrival: Upon landing, a ground ambulance transfers the patient to the nearest hospital or medical facility. 

We handle long-distance and international air missions, including ICU-level care, neonatal transport, and bariatric patients.
