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.

Lisa, London to Malaysia

If you are in the UK and looking for a medical repatriation company for your loved on, I could not recommend Skycare enough. I had an amazing experience dealing with Skycare on arranging medical repatriation for my Dad from London, United Kingdom all the way to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (12 hour long flight). From the first message I sent, Skycare responded fast and was very efficient on making sure all the forms and approvals were obtained quickly. Thank you so much to Craig for ensuring everything was smooth and Nurse Nav who was with my Dad during the journey back home.

Jason and George, Alicante to London

Many thanks from myself and George. We were very impressed with the knowledge, care and professionalism shown from yourself and everyone involved and in particular we want to thank the medical team on the day, Lee and Tasha, for taking good care of James along the way. Please also forward our thanks to the pilots, Mark and Joe, for the smooth plane travel and landing and to Chris our ambulance driver for the considered driving all the way to Reading.

We are very happy now with the care he is receiving at Royal Berkshire Hospital and really pleased we were able to get him home safely with your excellent support and expertise from everyone involved.

Pete McNair, Las Palmas to Biggin Hill

Dear Craig & Ben,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for sorting out our return home from Las Palmas today. My Dad was extremely nervous about the whole prospect of it all (as you probably picked up! 🙂 but it really was a seamless operation at every step of the way.

Mum is safely ensconced in Maidstone Hospital, and in good hands – not that she wasn’t before, but she is happy that she can communicate.

Medical Repatriation from France to UK – Family Testimonial

From the very first point of contact to the final message confirming my parents had been safely repatriated to the UK, the service and care was second to none. The administration was straightforward, the quotation clear, and everything worked perfectly.

Repatriation from France to the UK is never simple, but during a pandemic, it’s even more complex. SkyCare handled all the COVID-19 testing, paperwork and ever-changing border rules — while also showing genuine care, comfort and professionalism.

They made two worried octogenarians feel at ease during a very frightening time — and reassured the whole family, right down to tracking the journey door to door. If you’re looking for medical repatriation to the UK, I can highly recommend BM Ambulance Group.

Cannot thank the team at BM Ambulance enough for getting my Dad home from Spain. Craig/Sarah/James/Emma & Danny were all absolutely amazing. It was a huge 24 hour journey and they made Mum & Dad feel comfortable and safe the entire way. I don’t think my Dad would have made it without your help. He’s still not in the best of health but at least we have him home. We definitely could not have done this without you. Thank you all involved. Amazing people offering a fantastic service. x

BM Ambulance Service helped my son get home after he fell ill in France. They were fantastic from the start to finish. I do hope we never have to go through this again but if you are unfortunate enough to need this, I would highly recommend.

Lisa Evans

I would have given more than 5 stars if I could have. A big thank you to Craig, Sarah and John for the safe delivery of our much loved mum, mother in law, Nan and great grandmother from Spain after suffering a stroke.
