In this glossary, a Transportation Management Organization (TMO) refers to the team responsible for organizing and managing the fixed-wing air ambulance transport process, communication, and logistics, while clinical decisions remain with the patient’s physicians.
Air Medical Transport serves in this management role, providing structured transport planning, communication, and logistical support for fixed-wing air ambulance cases.
Why this matters: A clear management structure helps families, facilities, and care teams understand who is organizing the transport process and how communication will be handled.
