Coverage · Worldwide
Wherever the call
comes from.
EuropeCair coordinates air ambulance and medical repatriation missions worldwide. These pages set out how transport works in the countries and corridors we plan missions from most often.
Transport services
How a patient moves.
The mode of transport is a clinical decision. These pages explain what each option involves, who it suits, and where it stops being appropriate.
Country briefs
Where the mission
starts.
Airport options, seasonal constraints, documentation practice and the case patterns we see most often — country by country.
Corridors
The long routes.
Intercontinental transfers where range, permits, crew duty limits and the patient's own endurance all become planning constraints.
Questions we are asked
Before you
need us.
If your situation is not covered here, the coordination centre will answer directly, day or night.
Call +44 20 3671 5709No. EuropeCair is a European-based operation with worldwide reach. The country pages here cover the origins we plan missions from most frequently, but coordination is not limited to them — if a member needs transport from somewhere not listed, the coordination centre handles it the same way.
By the shortest safe ground transfer from the treating hospital, then by operating hours, handling and slot availability. The size or prominence of the airport is not a factor.
Then the ground leg becomes the first stage of the mission and is planned in detail — including, in some locations, a rotary or ferry leg before a fixed-wing aircraft is reachable at all.
No. Great-circle distances, estimated block times and the illustrative $7,000 per flight hour figure are planning references to help people understand the scale of what they are dealing with. Actual missions are quoted individually.
Coverage is subject to geographic limits, regulatory approvals and operational feasibility, which change over time. The coordination centre can confirm the position for a specific country at the time you ask.
Arrange it before you need it
One number, answered
around the clock.
If a transport is needed now, call the coordination centre. If you are planning ahead, a EuropeCair membership is $600 a year and covers unlimited medically necessary repatriation flights.
