Our Flight Coordinator Specialists manage each transport through selected FAA Part 135 and/or EASA-certified fixed-wing air ambulance operators, coordinating transport planning, medical logistics, and regulatory requirements.
Clinical decisions remain with the patient's treating physicians and appropriate care teams. Our team uses the information provided to review fixed-wing air ambulance options, planning requirements, and clear next steps. You do not need to coordinate multiple parties or manage logistics on your own. Our team remains your single point of contact throughout the process.
Founded by a flight paramedic with more than 20 years of experience in prehospital medicine, air ambulance transport, and international medical logistics, Air Medical Transport brings practical, patient-centered judgment to the planning of complex air ambulance transports.
Critical-Care Fixed-Wing Air Ambulance
Fixed-wing air ambulance transport may be appropriate when a patient requires ICU-level monitoring, long-distance or international transfer, or cannot travel safely on a commercial flight because of clinical instability or elevated medical risk.
Fixed-wing air ambulances are medically configured for patient transport. For critical-care cases, onboard capabilities, medical team configuration, aircraft suitability, and routing must align with the patient's condition and the clinical and logistical requirements of the transport.
Complete Bed-to-Bed Fixed-Wing Air Ambulance Transport Management
We manage the fixed-wing air ambulance transport from origin to destination, including facility communication, coordination of provided medical documentation, ground transportation when included, and required transport segments arranged as part of the complete bed-to-bed transport plan.
This structured approach supports accountability, continuity of care, and clear communication throughout the transport.
Trusted by Families and Care Teams
International & Long-Distance Fixed-Wing Air Ambulance Transfers
International and long-distance fixed-wing air ambulance transports can feel overwhelming, especially when a patient must travel between countries, across continents, or over an extended distance. Our team manages the process from start to finish, aligning transport planning with the patient's care needs, family communication, routing, documentation, facility timing, and applicable international aviation requirements.
Depending on the route, planning may involve coordination with the sending and receiving facilities, customs requirements, landing permissions, overflight permits, country-specific clearances, airport suitability, routing, and fuel stops.
Throughout the process, we provide clear guidance and steady communication so patients, families, and care teams understand what is needed and what to expect next.
U.S. Domestic Fixed-Wing Air Ambulance Transport
For U.S. domestic transports, airport planning considers patient requirements, physician guidance, aircraft performance, airport suitability, routing, weather, ground transfer distance, and applicable safety criteria. Appropriate public airports are assessed for each transport to support safety-focused and efficient fixed-wing air ambulance planning.
Clinical & Critical-Care Capabilities
Fixed-wing air ambulances are medically configured for patient transport. The specific configuration may support adult, pediatric, neonatal, bariatric, geriatric, and other high-acuity patients, depending on transport requirements.
Typical onboard capabilities may include stretcher systems, cardiac monitoring, transport ventilators, oxygen and suction systems, infusion pumps, pulse oximetry, and end-tidal CO2 monitoring. Advanced capabilities may be available on selected transports through selected operators, subject to clinical appropriateness, aircraft availability, routing, and transport requirements.
Aircraft suitability is reviewed case by case around the patient's condition, transport distance, routing, airport access, and aircraft availability at the time of booking.

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Ambulance
What is a fixed-wing air ambulance?
A fixed-wing air ambulance is a medically configured airplane or jet equipped as a mobile ICU, used for long-distance domestic and international patient transfers that require continuous medical monitoring and professional clinical oversight.
What is a critical care fixed-wing air ambulance?
A critical care fixed-wing air ambulance is configured to support MICU-level monitoring throughout transport for higher-acuity patients who cannot travel safely by other means.
How fast can a fixed-wing air ambulance mission be arranged?
Every situation is evaluated individually, with patient safety as the priority. Depending on availability and complexity, some missions may be arranged within hours. Timelines depend on clinical readiness, facility alignment, routing, weather, regulatory requirements, and aircraft and crew availability. International missions may require additional planning for permits and logistics. Our Flight Coordinator Specialists communicate clearly at every stage.
How much does a private-pay fixed-wing air ambulance cost?
Pricing depends on transport distance, aircraft type, routing, airport access, and the patient’s clinical needs. Each mission is quoted individually.
Do you work with insurance?
All fixed-wing air ambulance missions are arranged as private-pay services and are paid in full at the time of booking. Clients may pursue insurance reimbursement independently after transport using the documentation we provide.
Does insurance cover fixed-wing air ambulance transport?
Insurance coverage varies by plan and carrier. In some cases, insurers may consider reimbursement after transport when a patient is transferred between medical facilities because the sending facility cannot provide the required level of care. Any reimbursement claim is strictly between the patient and their insurance carrier. We do not submit claims or negotiate coverage.
Most U.S. private health insurance plans do not cover fixed-wing air ambulance transport for patients located outside the United States unless the policy includes specific international or travel medical coverage.
