FAQs – Air Ambulance & Medical Repatriation from Romania to the UK
SkyCare can often arrange air ambulance flights from Romania to the UK within 24 hours, depending on medical readiness, airport slots, and weather conditions. We regularly operate from Romania’s main airports — including Bucharest (OTP), Cluj-Napoca (CLJ), Timișoara (TSR), and Iași (IAS) — as well as regional hubs serving rural areas and international travellers. Medical evacuation Romania to the UK.
If your loved one is hospitalised in Romania without family nearby, it’s often best to bring them home as soon as they’re medically stable. This is especially true for skiing injuries or trauma cases from resorts such as Poiana Brașov or Predeal, where continuity of care and support in the UK can make a significant difference.
Once surgery or treatment has taken place, 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 because insurance decisions can be delayed. 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 by you — and you may be able to recover some or all of it from the insurer later. We’re happy to support with documentation if required.
Commercial medical escort flights are also available but can take longer to coordinate due to airline clearance, seat configuration (e.g. stretcher or extra space), and availability.
What Factors Influence the Cost?
The cost of an air ambulance from Romania to the UK depends on factors such as the patient’s medical condition, departure location, required clinical support, and aircraft availability.
As a guide, prices for a dedicated air ambulance to London typically start from £24,000. This base price excludes specialist ICU staffing or additional clinical requirements, which are quoted based on the needs of the patient.
We operate from major international airports including Bucharest (OTP), Cluj-Napoca (CLJ), Timișoara (TSR), and Iași (IAS). Stretcher and commercial escort options are available from select carriers, but may involve added time and clearance procedures.

The cost of a commercial medical flight from Romania to the UK varies depending on the departure city, airline availability, travel season, and medical clearance requirements.
Most patients must travel in business class because airlines require a seat that can fully recline — especially for those needing regular in-flight monitoring or treatment. Business class also provides the necessary space for our nurse or paramedic escort to care for the patient during the flight.
Medical clearance is essential and must be approved by the airline’s own doctors — even if a “fit to fly” certificate is issued locally. Read our fit-to-fly guide for details. The approval process can take up to 72 hours, and flights cannot be booked until this is complete.
Prices for escorted commercial flights typically range from £3,000 to £8,000, depending on the route, airline, and notice period. Economy seats are very rarely approved unless the patient can walk unassisted and has full mobility.

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.

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.
