Frequently Asked Questions – Air Ambulance Europe

SkyCare can typically arrange air ambulance repatriation from Europe within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the patient’s condition, medical clearance, and aircraft availability.

We support patients across Europe — whether they’re in private hospitals, recovery villas, or holiday accommodation. Our most common air ambulance departure points include:

  • Major European capitals – with private hospitals and specialist clinics
  • Coastal resorts – high-end areas, often used for post-surgery or emergency repatriation
  • Remote towns and islands – access to outpatient and step-down care facilities
  • Private villas and countryside homes – villa-based patients and home recoveries
  • Tourist destinations – coastal and mountain locations often used for family holiday cases
  • Major European airports – primary launch sites for air ambulance flights across the region

Wherever your loved one is located in Europe, our medical flight team will organise a safe, rapid return to the UK or another European destination.

If your loved one is hospitalised abroad without nearby family support, bringing them home once they are medically stable is often the best option. This is especially important after accidents, illness, or trauma, when recovery and care are better managed closer to home.

Once the patient has completed treatment and is considered stable, repatriation can usually proceed. To understand what makes someone fit to fly, see our quick guide.

If the patient is insured, families should contact the insurer first. However, many choose to self-fund medical repatriation to avoid delays. In these cases, SkyCare can often arrange a dedicated air ambulance within 24 hours.

Commercial medical escort and stretcher flights are also available but may take longer to arrange due to airline logistics and medical clearance.

What Factors Influence the Cost?

The cost of an air ambulance from Europe to the UK depends on several factors — including the patient’s medical condition, departure country, level of clinical support required, and aircraft availability.

Because prices vary significantly by location, we don’t provide general estimates — a repatriation from France may cost a fraction of one from Cyprus or Iceland.

To get an accurate estimate, click on the country where the patient is located via the list above or contact our team directly. Our advisors will provide a detailed, no-obligation quote based on your situation.

Stretcher and commercial medical escort options are also available on select carriers, though they may involve longer medical clearance with the airlines.

For individuals requiring urgent or planned medical care in London, our private air ambulance service provides a seamless bed-to-bed solution. Operated by SkyCare’s dedicated fleet and elite medical teams, we offer direct medical flights into London — most often landing at Biggin Hill for smooth transfer by road or helicopter to your chosen hospital.

Every detail is handled with discretion, precision, and clinical oversight — from hospital bedside abroad to admission at an NHS hospital or one of London’s leading private hospitals. This isn’t commercial repatriation — it’s tailored critical care transport for patients who need more than just a seat home.

Yes — our UK-based clinical team works directly with leading London private hospitals and NHS facilities to match each case to the right consultant and care pathway. We can arrange admission, liaise with your receiving medical team, and ensure continuity of treatment from departure to arrival.

Your journey is clinically overseen at every stage. We handle all arrangements for a complete bed-to-bed medical transfer from abroad to the UK.

Fast, discreet, medically supervised air transfers to and from Europe — trusted by families, hospitals, and insurers.

Air Ambulance from Spain to London

SkyCare were beyond brilliant with us bringing my Dad back home to Wales by Air Ambulance after he suffered a major stroke in Tenerife. We were really impressed with the whole team’s professionalism and expertise from the first moment we contacted them to the day of the repatriation and even managing to reserve Dad a bed in the Stroke unit in Wrexham Hospital to avoid the delay and trauma of A&E after a very long day travelling…

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 UKSki 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.

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.
