Air Ambulance & Medical Assistance: Repatriating Brits from Turkey

At SkyCare, we specialise in providing seamless and compassionate air ambulance services for British nationals needing urgent repatriation from Turkey. Whether you’ve undergone surgery or require medical attention after an illness, we offer tailored solutions to ensure you’re safely transported back to the UK.

If you or a loved one are in Turkey and require urgent medical repatriation, SkyCare provides professional air ambulance services to ensure a safe and comfortable journey back to the UK. Our air ambulance service starts from £36,500.00 (back to London), depending on the medical needs and specific circumstances of the patient.

We understand that when medical conditions arise, time is critical. SkyCare offers both air ambulance and commercial medical assist services to transport patients back home swiftly and safely. Whether you need a fully-equipped air ambulance or a medically escorted commercial flight, our experienced team is ready to provide the necessary care.

SkyCare operates from key airports in Turkey, including Istanbul Airport (IST), Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW), and Adnan Menderes Airport (Izmir). We’re ready to transport patients from major medical hubs in Istanbul and Izmir, ensuring a safe and efficient process.

Our medical team, including doctors, nurses, and paramedics, ensures that you receive the highest standard of care throughout the entire flight, while our commercial medical assist service provides flexibility for less critical cases.

Whether you’ve undergone surgery or are dealing with a medical emergency, our team ensures you receive expert care every step of the way. → Get an Air Ambulance Quote
  2. Commercial Medical Assistance: For less urgent cases, we can arrange medical assistance on a commercial flight. This service ensures you’re accompanied by a medical professional who will monitor your health throughout the journey, ensuring safe transport without the need for a dedicated air ambulance. → Request a Quote for a Medical Escort

We’re here to provide the peace of mind you need, focusing on your health and safety during your repatriation process.

Turkey is a popular destination for medical tourism, attracting patients for a range of surgeries, including cosmetic procedures, dental work, and fertility treatments. Cities like Istanbul and Izmir are well-known for their world-class medical facilities. Istanbul, as Turkey’s largest city, hosts some of the country’s leading hospitals offering diverse surgical treatments. Izmir, with its modern healthcare facilities, is especially favoured for orthopaedic, plastic surgery, and cardiology procedures. If you or someone you know needs urgent medical repatriation after surgery or treatment, SkyCare is prepared to assist.

If you are in the UK and looking for a medical repatriation company for your loved on, I could not recommend Skycare enough. I had an amazing experience dealing with Skycare on arranging medical repatriation for my Dad from London, United Kingdom all the way to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (12 hour long flight). From the first message I sent, Skycare responded fast and was very efficient on making sure all the forms and approvals were obtained quickly. Thank you so much to Craig for ensuring everything was smooth and Nurse Nav who was with my Dad during the journey back home.

Many thanks from myself and George. We were very impressed with the knowledge, care and professionalism shown from yourself and everyone involved and in particular we want to thank the medical team on the day, Lee and Tasha, for taking good care of James along the way. Please also forward our thanks to the pilots, Mark and Joe, for the smooth plane travel and landing and to Chris our ambulance driver for the considered driving all the way to Reading.

We are very happy now with the care he is receiving at Royal Berkshire Hospital and really pleased we were able to get him home safely with your excellent support and expertise from everyone involved.

Dear Craig & Ben,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for sorting out our return home from Las Palmas today. My Dad was extremely nervous about the whole prospect of it all (as you probably picked up! 🙂 but it really was a seamless operation at every step of the way.

Mum is safely ensconced in Maidstone Hospital, and in good hands – not that she wasn’t before, but she is happy that she can communicate.

From the very first point of contact to the final message confirming my parents had been safely repatriated to the UK, the service and care was second to none. The administration was straightforward, the quotation clear, and everything worked perfectly.

Repatriation from France to the UK is never simple, but during a pandemic, it’s even more complex. SkyCare handled all the COVID-19 testing, paperwork and ever-changing border rules — while also showing genuine care, comfort and professionalism.

They made two worried octogenarians feel at ease during a very frightening time — and reassured the whole family, right down to tracking the journey door to door.  If you’re looking for medical repatriation to the UK, I can highly recommend BM Ambulance Group.

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.
