Air Ambulance Handling for a Trusted Medical Transfer
Handling Air Ambulance Planes with
Urgency, Flexibility, and Compassion
When it comes to medical care, you need a reliable partner in flight support that can handle medical evacuations and air ambulance aircraft promptly.
Critical care patients with emergency medical situations need a fixable and dedicated air ambulance handling service.
We understand that time is of the essence in medical emergencies. Thus, we cover a wide range of aircraft handling to facilitate the mission of each air ambulance worldwide while reducing waiting times and delays as much as possible.
Over the years, we have refined our knowledge to ensure the safety of the patients and the medical crew between different distances.
JBS designs its aviation handling services around speed, safety, and efficiency. We consider all the details, big or small, to create a prompt reliable handling service for emergency flights.
That includes providing the right transportation at the right time so that patients can meet the medical teams without delays. Also, Air ambulance ramp handling is essential to facilitate the patient and the flight crew transfer.
In air ambulance, patients have a higher chance of survival if nurses and paramedics with advanced training in critical care arrive on time. Medical teams can rely on us to facilitate trained medical help transport to provide emergency or intensive care.
Air ambulance companies trust us to provide trustworthy ground handling services for medical flights, private air ambulances, and helicopter air ambulances.
Most air ambulance flights operate on a short-notice basis, not like a scheduled commercial flight. Because of the nature of these flights, civil aviation authorities are usually very cooperative with air ambulance providers. However, potential operating issues are always possible and can be the line between life and death if not planned well.
Our extensive experience contributes to the success of your medical transport services by helping out with:
Permits
We can arrange your medical transport landing & overflight permits within a few hours depending on the urgency of the flight, especially organ transfer and any unstable medical emergency. Less urgent air ambulance permit requests take a few hours to a full day.
However, the destination country plays a role in that. For example, China has a 24-hour lead time requirement, and Chinese authorities are strict on this. Canada processes air ambulance permit applications immediately without delay, while Jamaica allows qualified air ambulance services without requiring permits.
Visas
The nationality of crew members or passengers decides if there is a need for visas. However, some countries grant visa-free access for crew members/patients on air ambulance trips, while others require the same visa requirements as they do for commercial airlines.
Customs, Immigrations, and Quarantine
Air ambulance operations usually get exemption from curfew restrictions. If you provide us with advanced notification, we can contact your destination airport for overtime CIQ hours. However, the average charge will be applicable, and approval will be at the airport authority’s discretion.
Ground Handling
To ensure you have a quick and safe flight, we need you to provide us with patient and hospital information to make arrangements and request a ground ambulance. We help you obtain your visas and handle any special ground service requirements like medical oxygen or any advanced life support gadget
