Air Ambulance Repatriation from the Netherlands – Your Questions Answered

SkyCare can often arrange air ambulance flights from the Netherlands to the UK within 24 hours, depending on medical clearance, aircraft availability, and airport permissions. Thanks to the Netherlands’ close proximity, repatriation flights are typically short, with rapid turnaround times from departure to arrival.

We frequently operate from major airports such as Amsterdam Schiphol, Rotterdam The Hague, Eindhoven, and Groningen, allowing us to collect patients quickly from both urban centres and surrounding regions.

If your loved one is hospitalised in the Netherlands without family nearby, it’s often best to bring them home as soon as they’re medically stable. This is especially true after unexpected medical events, surgeries, or accidents during travel, where continuity of care in the UK can significantly support recovery.

Once surgery or initial treatment is complete, 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 to avoid delays. 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 upfront — although you may be able to reclaim some or all of it from your insurer afterwards. We’re happy to assist with the supporting documentation.

Commercial medical escort flights may also be possible from the Netherlands, but can take longer to arrange due to airline approvals, aircraft layout, and medical clearance requirements.

What Factors Influence the Cost?

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

As a guide, prices for a dedicated air ambulance to London typically start from £6,000. This is a base price and does not include optional ICU staffing or connecting ground ambulance transfers, which are quoted based on clinical need and distance.

We operate from regional and international airports across the Netherlands — including Amsterdam Schiphol, Rotterdam The Hague, Eindhoven, and Groningen. During peak travel periods, some ground ambulance costs may vary based on local demand and routing.
