Clear, jargon-free answers to the questions families, insurers and treating physicians ask us most often. No medical advice — practical guidance on how medevac actually works.
A medevac flight is a dedicated medical mission — aircraft, crew and equipment chosen for one patient.
Three terms, similar idea — but each carries a different operational nuance.
There is no single price — but five factors explain almost all the variance.
If the patient needs intensive-care monitoring on the ground, they need it in the air too.
It depends on the operation, the recovery and the cabin altitude — not just the calendar.
One team, one journey, from the sending bed to the receiving bed.
Two valid answers, very different costs — and the right one depends on the patient.
A predictable sequence — when run by people who do it every day.
Roughly an ICU bay in the air — sized to the patient.
From a few hours to a day — depending on aircraft, permits and clinical clearance.
Five categories of paperwork cover almost every mission.
Usually yes — within sensible cabin and clinical limits.
Cover varies a lot — but the principles are consistent.
There is no single 'best' aircraft — only the right one for the mission.
Range, runway, speed, access — pick by mission, not by badge.
