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.
