Are you anxious about flying? Have you been injured abroad or have a medical condition that may require medical assistance during your flight? Are you elderly and would feel safer with someone accompany you on your flight? SkyCare can help. We can supply an Air Medical Escort to assist you and provide worry-free travel.

What is an Air Medical Escort Service? Our Air Medical Escorts will accompany you on your flight home. You will fly on a commercial airline but with the added reassurance of having our highly trained medics travelling with you to provide care and support throughout the journey. Our medically accompanied flights are an alternative to a private air ambulance or road ambulance repatriation and can prove more cost-effective in many cases. They are suitable for patients who are mobile but need assistance during travel - perhaps the patient is elderly or frail, has a broken bone, is recovering from an operation, or simply does not have family members able to travel with them.

How does it work? Depending on your health and individual needs a suitably qualified medic will be chosen to accompany you and provide care and support throughout your flight. They can escort you from your home, hospital or care facility or simply meet you at the airport to accompany you during the flight. Onward transport from the airport can also be arranged to provide a complete end-to-end service.
Travelling with a medical escort ensures a safe and comfortable journey for you and brings peace of mind for loved ones at home.

What our clients say.

Rehan

Commercial Medical Escort from Boston, MA to London

SkyCare made a complex overseas transfer from Boston to London feel effortless. Craig and Sarah were outstanding — calm, professional, and always in touch. They handled everything, from visas to flight logistics, with genuine care and attention. The costs were very reasonable, but it was their empathy and support for both patient and family that made all the difference. I can’t recommend them enough.

Paul Trent

Vietnam to London — Medical Repatriation by SkyCare.

Fantastic professional company. We couldn’t have done this without them. My friend suffered a stroke and was paralysed on the right side. Due to a technicality, his insurance wouldn’t cover repatriation, so we had to go private. If anyone is ever in the same position, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SkyCare. They made a stressful situation feel manageable, and I’m so grateful for their calm, capable support throughout.

Jane Martin

France to UK — Ski Injury Repatriation by SkyCare.

Fantastic service. I was repatriated from France after a skiing accident with multiple injuries. We contacted Craig at 4am and by 10pm I was home — ground ambulance, air ambulance, and ground ambulance again. Everything went smoothly with incredible medical care and kindness. After two miserable weeks in hospital, I finally felt safe and supported. I cannot thank SkyCare enough and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Rob Campbell

Vietnam to London — Stroke Repatriation by SkyCare.

Amazing team of people. My brother had a stroke in Vietnam and the insurance company were useless. SkyCare guided me through the process, sorted everything out, and got him safely home. The whole team were fantastic, but special thanks to the medical crew — Adam and Sarah — who flew out and did an incredible job. I can’t recommend SkyCare enough for their calm, professional help in such a difficult time.

Lisa

UK to Malaysia — Long-Haul Medical Repatriation by SkyCare.

If you’re in the UK looking for a repatriation company, I couldn’t recommend SkyCare enough. They arranged medical transport for my dad from London to Kuala Lumpur — a 12-hour flight. From my first message, they responded quickly and handled all documents and approvals efficiently. Huge thanks to Craig for making everything smooth and to Nurse Nav for caring for my dad the whole way home.

Jason and George

Spain to UK — Stroke Repatriation by SkyCare.

SkyCare were brilliant with us, helping to bring my dad home to England after he suffered a stroke in Spain. From the moment we reached out to the day of the repatriation itself, the entire team showed professionalism, compassion, and expertise. We felt fully supported and reassured throughout the process. Thank you to everyone involved — I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SkyCare to anyone in a similar situation.

Pete McNair

Las Palmas to UK — Air Ambulance Repatriation by SkyCare.

Thank you to Craig and Ben for organising our return home from Las Palmas. My dad was extremely anxious about the process, but everything ran so smoothly at every stage. Mum is now safe in Maidstone Hospital, and she’s just happy to be somewhere she can easily communicate. The whole experience was calm, compassionate, and professional — we really appreciate everything SkyCare did to make it seamless.
