Medical Escort on Commercial Flights from Netherlands
For stable patients in the Netherlands who are fit to fly, our commercial medical escort service offers a cost-effective alternative to private air ambulance flights. A SkyCare doctor or nurse accompanies the patient from bedside to destination, providing continuous care throughout the journey.
This service is typically used for repatriation to the UK from cities where scheduled flights are frequent and accessible. We coordinate directly with airlines, airport staff, and receiving hospitals — commonly operating from airports in Amsterdam (Schiphol), Rotterdam The Hague, Eindhoven, and Groningen.
Road Ambulance Repatriation from the Netherlands
SkyCare provides fully equipped ground ambulance repatriation services from the Netherlands to the UK, offering safe, overland medical transport for patients who are stable enough to travel by road. This is a popular alternative to air ambulance for many cases — especially from central and northern regions of the Netherlands.
Our ambulances are staffed by experienced paramedics and medical personnel, delivering continuous care throughout the journey. We collect patients directly from hospitals, clinics, care homes, and private accommodation, and drive them safely back to their chosen destination in the UK.

Common Questions – Medical Repatriation from the Netherlands to the UK
SkyCare can often arrange air ambulance flights from the Netherlands to the UK within 24 hours, depending on medical clearance, aircraft availability, and airport permissions. Thanks to the Netherlands’ close proximity, repatriation flights are typically short, with rapid turnaround times from departure to arrival.
We frequently operate from major airports such as Amsterdam Schiphol, Rotterdam The Hague, Eindhoven, and Groningen, allowing us to collect patients quickly from both urban centres and surrounding regions.
If your loved one is hospitalised in the Netherlands without family nearby, it’s often best to bring them home as soon as they’re medically stable. This is especially true after unexpected medical events, surgeries, or accidents during travel, where continuity of care in the UK can significantly support recovery.
Once surgery or initial treatment is complete, you may be able to begin repatriation planning. To understand when it’s safe to fly, read our guide on flying after surgery.
If the patient is insured, the first step should always be to contact the insurance provider. However, many families choose to self-fund repatriation to avoid delays. In these cases, SkyCare can often arrange a dedicated air ambulance within 24 hours.
Please note: if you instruct us directly, the cost will need to be paid upfront — although you may be able to reclaim some or all of it from your insurer afterwards. We’re happy to assist with the supporting documentation.
Commercial medical escort flights may also be possible from the Netherlands, but can take longer to arrange due to airline approvals, aircraft layout, and medical clearance requirements.
What Factors Influence the Cost?
The cost of an air ambulance from the Netherlands to the UK depends on several key factors — including the patient’s medical condition, departure airport, required medical support, and aircraft availability.
As a guide, prices for a dedicated air ambulance to London typically start from £6,000. This is a base price and does not include optional ICU staffing or connecting ground ambulance transfers, which are quoted based on clinical need and distance.
We operate from regional and international airports across the Netherlands — including Amsterdam Schiphol, Rotterdam The Hague, Eindhoven, and Groningen. During peak travel periods, some ground ambulance costs may vary based on local demand and routing.

What our clients say.
Airport-to-Hospital Medical Transfer in London
Straightforward and genuine. Craig helped us get our mum safely from the airport to the hospital. Highly recommended.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
— Pete McNair (via email)
France to UK — COVID-Era Medical Repatriation by SkyCare.
From first contact to the final update confirming safe arrival, SkyCare’s care and coordination were second to none. They handled all COVID testing, documents, and border requirements with professionalism and warmth. Repatriating two elderly parents during a pandemic was daunting, but they made the process seamless — even providing journey tracking door to door. Their genuine care and clear communication reassured us at every stage. I highly recommend SkyCare for compassionate international patient transfers.
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.
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.
