We offer Commercial Medical Escort Services, a highly affordable alternative to private air ambulance transportation. This option is ideal for medically stable patients who are able to sit upright for portions of the flight. To ensure suitability, Cheap Air Ambulance’s medical directors, Dr. Richardson or Dr. B. Crandall, will coordinate with the patient’s physicians to review discharge and receiving information, confirming that this mode of transport is appropriate for the patient’s condition.

Our Commercial Medical Escort Service is not limited to those in hospitals or nursing homes. It’s also designed for individuals who need a bit of extra assistance during travel—whether it’s help with boarding, transferring between airlines, navigating airports, or passing through security. We pride ourselves on delivering a truly “First Class” experience for all our clients.

Cheap Air Ambulance handles every detail, providing comprehensive “bed-to-bed” service. This includes arranging medical staff, oxygen, preboarding assistance, access to medical holding areas at major airports, and ground transportation. Our service is available worldwide on both international and domestic flights.

An airline-approved medical professional, either a Critical Care Registered Nurse (CCRN) or a Critical Care Paramedic (CCEMT-P), will accompany the patient in First or Business Class on a commercial airliner. Family members or companions are welcome to travel alongside the patient and our medical escort.

What is a Commercial Medical Escort?

When a patient or family member needs to return home with a medical condition, it can be a stressful and complex process. At Cheap Air Ambulance, we are here to take that burden off your shoulders and make the experience smooth and stress-free. Our Medical Escort service is not only for medical patients but also for travelers who need extra assistance. For example, elderly couples often choose this service for an extra set of hands to ensure their travel is safe and convenient.

With years of experience, our team at Cheap Air Ambulance can handle all the logistics for you with just one phone call. Whether due to an emergency or an unfortunate turn of events, we understand you’ve been through enough stress. Let us take care of the details.

We start by completing a medical evaluation of the patient in consultation with you and the current medical team. From there, we determine the best airline for a timely and safe return home. Once the plan is in place, we’ll send a professional medical escort to accompany the patient.

The Medical Escort Staff

Our highly experienced Medical Escort team consists of Registered Nurses and Paramedics with critical care certifications, the same skilled professionals who staff Cheap Air Ambulance’s fleet of air ambulances. With years of experience and certifications like Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Flight Medical Transport Certifications, they are equipped to provide expert care.

If necessary, our medical escorts can administer intravenous fluids, antibiotics, pain medications, and other required treatments. They also provide personal hygiene care and, most importantly, compassion, ensuring that you and your loved one are well-supported during a difficult time.

Medical Transport Coordination

Our Commercial Medical Transport service includes:

• Transportation to and from the airport
• Customs notifications for international flights
• Assistance with airport security clearances
• “Fit to Fly” certificates from a flight doctor
• Full bed-to-bed medical escort service

From bedside to check-in, through airport security and customs (for international flights), our medical escort will guide you every step of the way, ensuring all necessary documentation is provided. Upon landing, we arrange transportation to the final destination, where our team will accompany the patient right to their bedside.

We recommend booking First Class or Business Class tickets for maximum comfort, privacy, and space for the medical escort to work. While there are many logistics involved, our expertise in air medical services, commercial medical escorts, emergency transport, and long-distance ground medical transportation allows us to excel in managing every detail.

At Cheap Air Ambulance, we pride ourselves on offering the most complete and detailed medical transportation services in the industry, all delivered with our personal touch. Our customers’ reviews reflect our commitment to excellence, making us a leader in commercial medical transportation, from international stretcher services to commercial medical escorts.

Best of all, our services are competitively priced. While we encourage you to compare, you’ll find that Cheap Air Ambulance’s Commercial Medical Transportation Services provide unparalleled value in both service and care.
