Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Repatriation from the UK
For individuals requiring urgent or planned medical care in London, our private air ambulance service provides a seamless bed-to-bed solution. Operated by SkyCare’s dedicated fleet and elite medical teams, we arrange direct medical flights into London or medical repatriation from the UK, most often landing at Biggin Hill for smooth transfer by road or helicopter to your chosen hospital.
Every detail is handled with discretion, precision, and clinical oversight — from hospital bedside abroad to admission at an NHS hospital or one of London’s leading private hospitals. This isn’t commercial repatriation — it’s tailored critical care transport for patients who need more than just a seat home.
The cost of medical repatriation depends on several key factors:
- The patient’s condition and the level of medical staff required to ensure safe care.
- The distance between the pick-up location and the destination.
- Whether transport is by road ambulance or air ambulance.
- If flying, whether the transfer is by private aircraft or on a commercial flight with a medical escort.
- The distance to and from the airport (for air transfers).
- Any specialist equipment or interventions required during the journey.
Our team ensures every repatriation is managed safely and cost-effectively — without ever compromising on patient care. For an accurate estimate, contact us or complete a Quick Quotation Request and we’ll respond promptly.

The Medical Repatriation Process
- It starts with your initial call or message — our team will offer guidance, answer questions, and explain your options.
- We’ll review the patient’s condition, care needs, and travel requirements, then advise on the safest and most appropriate transport options.
- You complete our Quotation Request Form. Once all details are received, we’ll provide a clear, fixed-price quote (commercial clients may submit referrals via email).
- When the quote is accepted, planning begins immediately — our operations team coordinates every detail from departure to arrival.
- We liaise with the patient’s doctors to assess medical readiness and tailor the transport plan to their clinical needs.
- All travel logistics are arranged — including ambulances, equipment, aircrew, and escorts — for a smooth, safe transfer.
- A flight plan is filed, the aircraft and crew are prepared, and final safety checks are completed.
- Before departure, our medical team conducts a final Fit to Fly assessment to confirm the patient remains stable and cleared for transport.
- Throughout the journey, our team monitors progress in real time — keeping families, receiving hospitals, and road crews updated at every stage.
- After arrival, we follow up with the patient, family, and staff involved — ensuring a complete handover and feedback for continuous improvement.

What our clients say.
Air Ambulance from Spain to London
SkyCare were beyond brilliant with us bringing my Dad back home to Wales by Air Ambulance after he suffered a major stroke in Tenerife. We were really impressed with the whole team’s professionalism and expertise from the first moment we contacted them to the day of the repatriation and even managing to reserve Dad a bed in the Stroke unit in Wrexham Hospital to avoid the delay and trauma of A&E after a very long day travelling…
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.
