Question 1

Can ambu24 coordinate air transport from the Greek islands or an international repatriation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can coordinate agreed elements of a dedicated air-ambulance or medically escorted flight within Greece or internationally. The appropriate option and route are subject to clinical review, operator acceptance, aircraft and crew availability, weather, clearances, and suitable ground and receiving arrangements.

Question 2

Does every patient need a dedicated air ambulance?

Accepted Answer

No. A dedicated aircraft may be appropriate for some patients, while a clinically stable patient may be considered for a commercial flight with a qualified medical escort. The decision depends on clinical assessment, airline and operator approval, seating and mobility needs, oxygen or equipment requirements, and the journey as a whole.

Question 3

How are the medical crew and equipment selected?

Accepted Answer

The clinical provider and operator match the crew and equipment to the patient, aircraft, route, and mission profile. Depending on the case, the team may include a doctor, nurse, or paramedic and equipment for monitoring, oxygen, medication administration, and in-flight care. The final provision is confirmed as part of the approved mission plan.

Question 4

How quickly can an air ambulance be arranged?

Accepted Answer

We can begin assessing feasibility and availability once the route, clinical information, timing, and available medical documents are received. Actual departure timing depends on clinical acceptance, aircraft and crew availability, operator approvals, weather, clearances, and ground handovers, so a fixed timeframe cannot be guaranteed before the case is reviewed.

Question 5

How is air medical transport funded and priced?

Accepted Answer

Funding may be through travel insurance, an assistance company, an employer, a public body, or self-pay, depending on the case. Customers should confirm cover and any prior-authorisation requirements directly with their insurer or funding body; ambu24 cannot determine entitlement or reimbursement. Pricing depends on the route, aircraft or escorted-flight option, patient needs, crew, clearances, and ground transport, and a formal quotation follows review of the mission profile.
