· ClinicalMedical Escort
A clinician — physician, nurse or paramedic — accompanying a patient on a flight to provide care en route.
Medical escorts are used when a patient is stable enough for commercial travel (seat upright or stretcher) but still needs clinical oversight, medication management, oxygen titration or assistance with mobility and continence.
A medical escort flight is typically a fraction of the cost of a private air ambulance and is the default option for stable repatriations over long sectors.
