What Is Neonatal Transport?
Also known as: NICU transport · Neonatal air ambulance
The aeromedical transfer of newborns and premature infants, using a transport incubator and a neonatal specialist team.
Neonatal missions use a transport incubator (commonly Dräger or Air-Shields) with integrated ventilation, monitoring and temperature control. The team is led by a neonatologist or specialist transport nurse.
Aircraft selection prioritises cabin volume — the incubator and its support equipment occupy a significant footprint — and short ramp-to-ramp time.
