Patient Transport Services

When a patient cannot travel alone due to medical needs, Flying Nurses International provides safe, professional medical air transport. We move patients between hospitals, to treatment centers, or closer to home, ensuring comfort, safety, and proper medical supervision throughout the journey.

Our patient transport service handles everything from arranging the flight to checking patients in at their destination facility. Whether you're coordinating care for a family member or working as a hospital case manager, we make medical simple and stress-free. You can’t use repatriation, as that is about returning someone to their own country, not just transporting them for medical reasons.

What is Medical Air Transport?

Medical air transport is a specialized service that moves patients who cannot fly commercially without assistance. This includes:

  • Transferring patients from one hospital to another, especially when moving closer to home for continued care
  • Transporting cancer patients for ongoing treatment at specialized centers
  • Relocating elderly patients seasonally between care facilities
  • Moving patients who require medical supervision during travel

We are commercial medical escorts. You can opt for an air ambulance there if you want to, and we provide a high level of personalized care. Hospital case managers frequently arrange these flights when patients are cleared to travel but cannot board a standard commercial flight unassisted.

Why Choose Flying Nurses International?

Licensed Medical Professionals on Every Flight

Every transport includes experienced, licensed nurses who monitor patients throughout the flight, administer medications as needed, and handle any medical concerns that arise.

Customized to Your Medical Needs

We tailor our care to the patient's specific condition—whether managing oxygen requirements, monitoring vital signs, or ensuring comfort for those with mobility challenges.

Seamless Coordination with Medical Facilities

From departure to arrival, we work directly with hospitals, rehab centers, and case managers to ensure proper hand-offs and continuity of care.

Transparent Pricing

We provide clear, upfront quotes with no hidden fees, making it easier to plan and budget for medical transport.

Hospital and Rehab Center Admissions

Patients or their case managers choose the destination hospital or rehabilitation center. Flying Nurses International handles the logistics:

  • Arranging the medical air transport flight
  • Coordinating with both the sending and receiving facilities
  • Checking the patient in upon arrival
  • Ensuring a proper, documented hand-off to the receiving medical team

The receiving facility manages the actual admission scheduling and intake process. Our role is to bridge the gap—delivering patients safely and on time so they can begin the next phase of their care without delay.
