Sometimes, patients are transferred using scheduled commercial flights. Hope works with airline companies to allow for the safe transfer of patients on a normal flight. Commercial medical transfers are highly complex operations requiring the coordination of airline operations, engineering, security, medical teams and hospitals at both ends.
With special arrangements; patients on stretcher, life support (ventilator) and oxygen can travel on normal airlines. For semi ambulant patients, we can arrange for seated nurse or physician escorts.
The main advantage of a commercial airline transfer is the definite cost savings (anything from 40% to 80% lower than air ambulance). For long haul flights commercial airliners have the advantage of not having to stop so frequently for refuelling (due to limitations in range of air-ambulances), saving time and costs.

Fast, efficient, professional and reliable... and did I mention a sense of humour. -
I have moved back to my hometown in Indonesia and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the kindness, understanding, and patience you gave me while I was under your care. Please thank your air-ambulance doctor and nurse for me, as they were always kind and caring. God bless you all: Thank you. -

It's the world in which we live. Too much to do, not enough time to do it. Even so, we think its important in a busy world to slow down long enough to let people know their appreciated. That's why I wanted to send you a note to express my appreciation for the wonderful medical team
