Medical Escort on Commercial Flights from Poland

For stable patients in Poland who are fit to fly, our commercial medical escort service offers a cost-effective alternative to a private air ambulance. A SkyCare doctor, nurse, or paramedic accompanies the patient from bedside to arrival, ensuring continuous medical care and peace of mind.

This option is often used for repatriation to the UK from central and western Poland, where flight routes support commercial transfers. We work closely with airlines, airport staff, and receiving hospitals — commonly operating from airports in Wrocław, Gdańsk, Poznań, and Łódź.

Common Questions – Medical Repatriation from Poland to the UK

SkyCare can often arrange air ambulance flights from Poland to the UK within 24 hours, depending on medical readiness, aircraft availability, and airport permissions. We regularly operate from major Polish cities including Warsaw, Kraków, Gdańsk, Wrocław, and Poznań — providing fast response for patients in hospitals, care facilities, or at home. With direct routing to the UK, flight times are typically around 3-4 hours, making repatriation both swift and clinically efficient.

If your loved one is hospitalised in Poland without family nearby, it’s often best to bring them home as soon as they’re medically stable. This is especially important after unexpected accidents or post-surgical recovery, where support in the UK can aid faster, safer rehabilitation.

Once initial treatment is complete, repatriation may be possible. To understand when it’s safe to fly, read our guide on flying after surgery.

If the patient is insured, the first step should be to contact the insurer. However, many families choose to self-fund repatriation to avoid delays. In such 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 reimbursement may be possible through insurance. We can provide all supporting documentation for your claim.

Commercial medical escort flights may be possible from cities like Warsaw, Kraków, or Gdańsk, though these require additional airline approvals and may involve longer lead times.

What Factors Influence the Cost?

The cost of an air ambulance from Poland to the UK depends on several key factors — including the patient’s medical condition, departure location, medical team requirements, and aircraft availability.

As a guide, prices for a dedicated air ambulance to the UK typically start from £16,000. This is a base price and does not include optional ICU staffing or ground ambulance transfers, which are quoted based on distance and medical need.

We operate from regional and international airports across Poland — including Warsaw (WAW), Kraków (KRK), Gdańsk (GDN), and Wrocław (WRO). In remote or seasonal areas, ground ambulance costs may be higher due to logistics and provider availability.

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.
