Who Needs Medical Repatriation from South Africa?

Departures from South Africa

Air Stretcher operates stretcher-equipped medical flights from two major international gateways in South Africa:  

  • Cape Town International Airport (CPT) and  
  • O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg. 

 

Cape Town International Airport, located in the Western Cape, offers excellent connectivity to Europe and the Middle East. It is ideal for patients requiring medical repatriation to specialized facilities abroad, especially in France, the Netherlands, and Germany via partner airlines such as Air France, KLM, and Lufthansa. 

O.R. Tambo International Airport, situated in Gauteng province, is the busiest airport in Africa. It provides extensive access to global hubs in North America, Europe, and Asia, making it a strategic departure point for long-distance medical flights and international patient transportation. 

Both airports support commercial aircraft equipped for stretcher transport, ensuring smooth coordination for medical evacuation, bed-to-bed transfers, and medical journeys from South Africa.
