Air Ambulance Switzerland
Luftambulanz Schweiz
Specialist Repatriation from Switzerland to the UK
SkyCare delivers trusted air ambulance Switzerland to UK services, supported by expert British medical teams. We transport patients from across Switzerland — including Zurich, Geneva, Basel, and the Alps — with speed, safety, and compassion. Whether you need a routine transfer or a high dependency flight, we act fast and handle every case with clinical precision.
Fittingly, our newest aircraft — the Swiss-built Pilatus PC-12 — is perfectly suited for missions in and out of Switzerland. Designed for alpine reliability, it’s now flying patients home with the care and precision you’d expect from Swiss engineering.
How Our Switzerland Services Work
We operate a fleet of specialist air ambulances and more than 60 medical vehicles. This enables us to provide full door-to-door repatriation with no delays or third-party handovers. For example, we frequently transfer patients directly from Zurich or Geneva airports to care homes, hospitals, or private residences in the UK.
In addition, we work closely with families, global insurers, Swiss clinics, and UK hospitals. Our London-based operations team is available 24/7 to coordinate every mission. Therefore, our clients can rely on us for responsive, clinically led support from start to finish.
Air Ambulance Coverage Across Switzerland
- Emergency Air Ambulance Flights – We mobilise rapidly for critically ill patients across Switzerland. Our NHS-trained doctors and paramedics provide intensive care in the air during urgent repatriations to the UK.
- Planned and Non-Emergency Transfers – Whether you’re returning from a Swiss hospital or transferring between care facilities, we coordinate every detail for a seamless journey back to the UK.
- Ground and Air Escort Services – For medically stable patients, we offer cost-effective alternatives. Our team provides medical escort services on commercial flights from Geneva, Zurich, or Basel, or long-distance road transfers with our UK-based fleet.
Our UK-Based Medical Transport Services
SkyCare provides a full range of medical transport services, proudly delivered from our UK base by fully British clinical teams. Whether you require urgent repatriation from Switzerland, a planned transfer, or specialist support at altitude, we have the infrastructure and experience to manage everything with precision.
In difficult moments, patients and families need support they can rely on. That’s why each of our services—from intensive care air ambulance flights out of Geneva or Zurich, to commercial medical escorts and coordinated ground transfers—is delivered with compassion, medical oversight, and clear communication.
Air Ambulance Switzerland
SkyCare provides urgent and non-urgent air ambulance flights from Switzerland to the UK. Our British-operated aircraft are ICU-equipped, and every mission is staffed by NHS-trained doctors, paramedics, and nurses. Whether you're being transferred from a Swiss hospital or repatriated home after treatment abroad, we deliver a full bed-to-bed service with clinical oversight every step of the way.
Commercial Medical Escort
For medically stable patients travelling from Switzerland, our commercial medical escort service offers a cost-effective alternative to a full air ambulance. Patients fly on a standard commercial airline under the care of a British doctor, nurse, or paramedic—depending on their needs. We manage the entire process, from coordinating with Swiss departure airports like Zurich or Geneva, to ensuring in-flight medical support, oxygen, and medications are safely handled throughout the journey.
Ground Ambulance Transfers
With over 60 medical vehicles operating across the UK, SkyCare provides high-dependency ground ambulance transfers for patients repatriated from Switzerland. We regularly support discharges, inter-facility moves, and seamless transfers between UK airports and hospitals. Every journey is clinically led and tailored to each patient’s condition, ensuring safe, comfortable care from arrival to destination.

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.
