We regularly operate from major Swedish airports including Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, and Umeå — as well as regional hubs serving rural areas and international travellers. Medical evacuation Sweden to the UK.
If your loved one is hospitalised in Sweden without nearby family, bringing them home once medically stable is often the best option. This is especially true after accidents or trauma, where UK-based care and support can aid recovery.
Once treatment or surgery is complete, repatriation may begin. To know when it’s safe to fly, read our guide on flying after surgery.
If insured, families should first contact the insurer. However, many 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 we’re instructed directly, payment must be made by you, though you may later claim from insurance. We’re happy to assist with documentation.
Commercial medical escort and stretcher flights are also available but may take longer to arrange due to airline logistics and clearance requirements.

An air ambulance is a fully equipped medical aircraft, staffed by a critical care team and configured to provide in-flight intensive care. This option is ideal for patients who are too unwell to fly commercially — including those needing ventilator support, cardiac monitoring, or stretcher transport. Flights operate on-demand and can often depart within 24 to 48 hours.
In contrast, a medical escort involves one of our licensed clinicians — such as a nurse, paramedic, or doctor — accompanying the patient on a commercial airline. This is a cost-effective option suitable for medically stable patients who do not require intensive interventions but still need professional oversight, medication administration, or mobility assistance throughout the journey.
SkyCare offers both services from Sweden, with full coordination from bedside to bedside — including hospital handovers, airline medical clearances, and ground ambulance transfers at both ends.
The cost of a commercial stretcher flight from Sweden to the UK varies significantly and is influenced by several key factors — including departure city, airline seat availability, and the airline’s internal medical clearance process.
Not all commercial carriers departing from Sweden offer stretcher support, and those that do often restrict it to major airports like Stockholm Arlanda (ARN), Gothenburg Landvetter (GOT), or Malmö Airport (MMX), and frequently route through hubs like Frankfurt, Amsterdam, or Copenhagen. Costs can range from £15,000 to over £25,000, depending on route, season, and airline charges.
Medical clearance is mandatory and must be granted by the airline’s own medical department — even if a patient has a local doctor’s ‘fit to fly’ certificate. Read our fit-to-fly guide for more detail. This approval process can take several days and must be completed before any tickets are confirmed.
Because airline fares fluctuate daily, it’s common for prices to rise during the time it takes to secure medical clearance. For a real-world explanation of how these variables affect cost, see our article: Medical Escort Pricing Explained.

What our clients say.
Airport-to-Hospital Medical Transfer in London
Straightforward and genuine. Craig helped us get our mum safely from the airport to the hospital. Highly recommended.
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 UK — Ski 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.
Spain to UK — Stroke Repatriation by SkyCare.
SkyCare were brilliant with us, helping to bring my dad home to England after he suffered a stroke in Spain. From the moment we reached out to the day of the repatriation itself, the entire team showed professionalism, compassion, and expertise. We felt fully supported and reassured throughout the process. Thank you to everyone involved — I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SkyCare to anyone in a similar situation.
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.
— Pete McNair (via email)
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.
I would have given more than 5 stars if I could have. A big thank you to Craig, Sarah and John for the safe delivery of our much loved mum, mother in law, Nan and great grandmother from Spain after suffering a stroke.
