Frequently Asked Questions – Air Ambulance Prague
SkyCare can typically arrange an air ambulance to or from the Czech Republic within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the patient’s condition, medical clearance, and aircraft availability. Flight times from the UK start from approximately 2 hours, making it possible to complete most missions within a single day once confirmed.
We support patients across the country — whether they’re in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, or at home. Common departure and arrival points include:
- Prague – the capital city, with leading hospitals and the country’s busiest airport
- Brno – key regional hub in the south-east with major clinics
- Ostrava – eastern Czechia, near the Slovak and Polish borders
- Karlovy Vary – popular spa and recovery destination with airport access

Wherever your loved one is located, our experienced team can coordinate a safe and timely return to the UK or another European destination.
Hospitals in the Czech Republic are known for delivering high-quality medical care, backed by solid infrastructure and well-trained clinical teams. Unlike in some parts of Europe where we may recommend urgent repatriation due to healthcare limitations, Czechia generally offers a reassuring standard of care.
That said, there are still valid reasons why returning to the UK may be the preferred option — for example, if the patient is struggling with language barriers, feels unsettled in unfamiliar surroundings, or if loved ones wish to be more involved in their recovery. In these situations, SkyCare can arrange safe, medically supervised repatriation as soon as the patient is fit to travel.

What Factors Influence the Cost?
The cost of an air ambulance from Prague to the UK depends on several factors, including the patient’s medical condition, the departure location in Czechia, and the type of medical crew required.
As a result, at SkyCare, we provide fully transparent, fixed-price quotations that include the flight, medical escort team, ground ambulance transfers at both ends, and complete logistical coordination.

An air ambulance is a fully equipped medical aircraft, staffed by a critical care team and configured to provide in-flight intensive care. This option is ideal for patients who are too unwell to fly commercially — including those needing ventilator support, cardiac monitoring, or stretcher transport. Flights operate on-demand and can often depart within 24 to 48 hours.
In contrast, a medical escort involves one of our licensed clinicians — such as a nurse, paramedic, or doctor — accompanying the patient on a commercial airline. This is a cost-effective option suitable for medically stable patients who do not require intensive interventions but still need professional oversight, medication administration, or mobility assistance throughout the journey.
SkyCare offers both services from the Czech Republic, with full coordination from bedside to bedside — including hospital handovers, airline medical clearances, and ground ambulance transfers at both ends.
Yes — we frequently assist British travellers staying in Prague’s Old Town, New Town, and near Charles Bridge. If a patient is recovering in a hotel, Airbnb, or guesthouse, SkyCare can arrange medical assessment, documentation, and a safe repatriation flight directly from Prague.
Many international patients in Prague are treated at Motol University Hospital, the largest facility in Czechia. SkyCare works directly with the hospital’s administration to coordinate ICU discharges and fit-to-fly documentation when air ambulance repatriation is needed.

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.
