Wherever your loved one is located in Norway, SkyCare will arrange a secure, medically supervised return to the UK or another European destination — with bedside-to-bedside care and full clinical oversight throughout the mission.

If your loved one is hospitalised in Norway without family nearby, it’s often best to bring them home as soon as they’re medically stable. This is especially important in cases involving surgery, injury, or serious illness, where continuity of care and support in the UK can make a significant difference.

Once initial 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 Norway to the UK depends on several factors — including 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 £16,500. This is the rate for missions from Stavanger Airport. Locations further north — such as Tromsø — can cost up to twice as much, due to the extended flight distance and increased operational demands.

We operate from key airports including Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, Tromsø, and Trondheim. Ground ambulance costs may vary depending on location, distance to airport, and timing — especially in rural or out-of-hours scenarios.
