An air ambulance is a dedicated medical aircraft equipped to ICU standards, ideal for patients who require intensive care, continuous monitoring, or are too unwell to travel on a commercial flight. SkyCare’s air ambulances are staffed by experienced doctors, critical care nurses, and paramedics, and include advanced equipment like ventilators, cardiac monitors, infusion pumps, and emergency medications.
