Our team can explain the features, oxygen delivery methods, battery performance and travel capabilities of each rental concentrator. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that the equipment you select is suitable for your prescribed oxygen therapy and medical requirements.

Is an Oxygen Concentrator Right for You?
Portable and transportable oxygen concentrators provide different types and levels of oxygen delivery. Some provide pulse-dose oxygen only, while others can also provide continuous-flow oxygen. It is therefore important that you know the type of oxygen therapy, setting or flow rate that has been prescribed for you before selecting a machine.
You are responsible for ensuring that the oxygen concentrator you select is suitable for your prescribed oxygen therapy and medical requirements. If you’re unsure whether a concentrator is appropriate for you, or which oxygen delivery method or setting you require, please speak to your doctor, respiratory specialist or prescribing clinician before hiring.
Our team can explain how our rental equipment works, the oxygen delivery options available, battery performance, charging, accessories and practical considerations for flights, cruises and holidays. However, we cannot prescribe oxygen therapy or determine which equipment is clinically appropriate for you.
Once you know your prescribed oxygen requirements, we’ll make the rental process as straightforward as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Both the Inogen Rove 6 and SeQual Eclipse 5 in our rental fleet are designed for commercial air travel, subject to the individual airline’s approval and requirements. Approval of a concentrator does not automatically mean it can be used on every flight, so you should always confirm the exact model with your airline well before departure.
If you’re planning to travel with oxygen, read our detailed guide to flying with a portable oxygen concentrator for practical information about airline policies, medical clearance and battery planning.
Some airlines may ask you to complete a Medical Information Form (MEDIF) or provide medical documentation, particularly if you have recently been unwell or your oxygen requirements have changed. Other airlines may simply ask you to confirm the make and model of the concentrator you intend to use.
You should not rely on aircraft electrical power to operate or charge your oxygen concentrator. Carry sufficient fully charged batteries for your complete journey, including airport time, delays, diversions and connections, and follow your airline’s rules for carrying spare lithium batteries.
Before you travel, confirm:
- That your airline accepts the exact oxygen concentrator model you intend to use.
- Whether medical clearance, a MEDIF or supporting documentation is required.
- The battery duration your airline requires for the journey.
- How spare batteries must be packed and carried.
- Any restrictions on where the equipment may be stored or used during the flight.
SkyCare can explain the specifications, battery options and travel information for the equipment we supply. Your clinician remains responsible for your prescribed oxygen requirements, and your airline determines its own acceptance and medical-clearance requirements.
The number of batteries required depends on your prescribed oxygen setting, the concentrator model, the length of your journey and your airline’s requirements.
You should carry enough fully charged battery capacity to power the concentrator for your complete journey, including time at the airport, the flight itself, transfers and reasonable allowance for delays.
Some airlines apply a rule requiring battery capacity for at least 150% of the expected maximum flight duration. This is not a universal rule for every airline, so always check the specific requirement for your flight before travelling.
Battery runtime also varies according to oxygen setting and operating conditions. Higher settings generally reduce runtime, so two passengers using the same concentrator may need different numbers of batteries.
SkyCare can explain the published battery performance of each rental model and supply additional batteries where available. You are responsible for carrying sufficient battery capacity and complying with your airline’s rules.
Not everyone travelling with an oxygen concentrator requires a Fit to Fly certificate. The requirement depends on your medical circumstances and your airline’s individual policy.
If your condition is stable and you routinely use oxygen, your airline may not require additional medical documentation. If you have recently been admitted to hospital, your condition has changed, or you are travelling with oxygen for the first time, the airline may request medical clearance.
Some airlines use a Medical Information Form (MEDIF), while others may request a letter from your GP or respiratory specialist confirming that you are fit to travel and detailing your oxygen requirements.
SkyCare can explain the equipment information you may need to provide, including concentrator model and battery details. Your airline decides whether medical clearance is required, and your treating clinician is responsible for any medical certification.
Yes. Portable oxygen concentrators are frequently used by passengers travelling on cruise holidays and can provide a convenient source of oxygen whilst onboard and during shore excursions.
Before travelling, you should always inform your cruise operator if you intend to bring a portable oxygen concentrator, as they may have specific policies regarding medical equipment. Some cruise lines request advance notification or require medical documentation before departure.
It is also important to ensure you have sufficient battery capacity for excursions ashore and any periods where mains power may not be immediately available. Unlike aircraft, cruise ships generally provide opportunities to recharge batteries in your cabin, but it is still sensible to carry spare batteries when leaving the ship.
If your cruise begins overseas, remember that you will also need enough battery capacity for your flights to and from the embarkation port. Our team can explain the available equipment and battery options to help you plan your rental, but you should ensure your selected concentrator meets your prescribed oxygen requirements.
SkyCare Repatriation provides portable oxygen concentrator rental throughout the United Kingdom. Equipment is prepared, function tested and cleaned before dispatch to help ensure it arrives ready for use.
We aim to dispatch equipment in plenty of time for your departure, and we recommend submitting your hire request at least four working days before you travel.
Where possible, equipment should be delivered before your departure date, allowing time to familiarise yourself with its operation, charge the batteries if required and ask any questions before your journey begins.
If your travel is urgent, please contact SkyCare Repatriation directly. We will always do our best to help, although we cannot guarantee same-day or next-day dispatch.
If you experience a problem with your portable oxygen concentrator whilst travelling, contact SkyCare Repatriation as soon as possible. Our team will work with you to identify the issue and provide advice on the most appropriate course of action.
Many questions can be resolved quickly over the telephone, whether they relate to battery charging, alarms, operating the concentrator or general guidance on using the equipment. If we believe the issue cannot be resolved remotely, we will discuss the options available based on your location and circumstances.
We strongly recommend carrying all supplied accessories, including your chargers and spare batteries, throughout your journey and reading the operating instructions before you travel. Taking a little time to familiarise yourself with the equipment before departure can often prevent minor issues while you are away.
Our aim is to ensure you can continue your journey with confidence, and we will always do our best to support you should you require assistance during your hire period.
Yes. Some travellers already own an oxygen concentrator but discover that their airline will not accept that particular model for onboard use.
Subject to availability, SkyCare can provide a rental from our travel fleet, including the Inogen Rove 6 and SeQual Eclipse 5. You must still confirm the exact rental model with your airline before travelling, as each carrier sets its own medical-equipment and battery requirements.
You are also responsible for ensuring that the rental concentrator’s oxygen delivery mode and settings match your prescribed oxygen therapy. SkyCare can explain equipment specifications and battery options, but we cannot prescribe oxygen settings or provide airline medical clearance.
Our experienced team is here to help before you book.

What our clients say.
Air Ambulance from Portugal to Kent
SkyCare were amazing with the repatriation of my elderly mother-in-law when she became ill on a river cruise boat. They were professional every step of the way during this complicated but urgent repatriation journey.
The staff took great care of my mother-in-law, making sure she was comfortable throughout the long journey back and arranged a hospital bed for her in the UK. They gave us updates throughout the day, so we were…
Air Ambulance from Palma to England
SkyCare have been amazing. Within 48hrs of contacting them we had an agreed flight schedule and handover arranged between Palma and England. I arranged privately so I didn’t have the help or aid of an insurance company to be the middle man and I was very stressed and out of my depth. SkyCare really supported me and calmed any worries or anxiety I had about a very unknown risky arrangement…
Commercial Medical Flight from Faro to Scotland
Given the very difficult circumstances, the service we received from your doctor was utterly outstanding. From the first meet we felt safe and comfortable and throughout the whole service of getting us home we were very grateful to have such a knowledgeable person by our side. The doctor was extremely friendly and I would recommend sky care in any medical emergency. I can’t honestly praise the service high enough. Thank you so so much.
Commercial Medical Flight from Serbia to Birmingham
My 69-year-old mum unfortunately suffered a stroke while we were flying home from Turkey, which resulted in an emergency landing in Serbia. It was one of the most frightening and stressful experiences our family has ever been through. We didn’t have travel insurance that could help, so I spent hours contacting different medical repatriation companies and comparing quotes. SkyCare wasn’t the cheapest option, but after speaking to them, I had a feeling they genuinely cared about getting my mum home safely rather than just treating us like another customer. I’m so glad I trusted my instincts…
Air Ambulance from Spain to London
I cannot thank Skycare UK enough for the exceptional service they provided when organising the medical repatriation of my father-in-law from Salamanca, Spain, following a stroke.
From the very beginning, the team took the time to understand our situation and our needs during what was an incredibly difficult and emotional time for the whole family. Cameron and Ben were outstanding throughout the process, always available by phone or WhatsApp to answer questions quickly and ….
Commercial Medical Flight from Turkey to London
I can’t recommend SkyCare Repatriation highly enough. I called, Cameron answered. And he didn’t stop answering. He was there when we needed him. When we didn’t have the capacity to take on anything else, he took EVERYTHING to do with the repatriation on his shoulders. As soon as we signed on the dotted line everything was dealt with by SkyCare including organising a bed in the NHS hospital nearest our home and where the consultant who would be operating on my mother was based. And the team who brought my mother home were so caring…
Commercial Medical Flight from Alicante to London
SkyCare were amazing from initial enquiry to finish. No question was too big or too small (and I had lots!). We can’t thank Sarah enough for accompanying us on the commercial flight, and the office team for helping us bring our elderly mum with dementia and mobility issues safely home from Spain to the UK.
All aspects of the travel were handled for us, including the booking process, check-in, airport assistance, and transfers, which removed so much stress at a very difficult time….
Commercial Medical Escort Flight from Jamaica
Incredible – When my Mum had a serious seizure in Jamaica, my NHS Dr Consultant friend said “Repatriate. Get her back here to the UK, directly to us, the NHS.” I went online in the middle of the night and found CQC approved Skycare. They are an expert “A Team” of clinical professionals brought together to provide a 365, 24/7 service to repatriate poorly patients.
I chose SkyCare’s bed to bed commercial flight service to repatriate my Mum from Kingston Jamaica to the UK…
Air Ambulance Germany to England
Skycare provided an exceptional standard of service throughout the entire repatriation process. From the outset, their team demonstrated remarkable patience and understanding, particularly when plans and travel dates needed to change multiple times.

They took the time to clearly explain each stage of the process, ensuring we fully understood what to expect and what arrangements were being made….
Air Ambulance from Paris to England
The team were amazing from start to finish. From the first phone call the team handled everything. They communicated with us quickly and efficiently and were on hand with any questions we had in our time of distress. When the team arrived at the hospital they took control of the situation and guided us through what was happening and were very impressive and immediately reassured us and showed great care for our son. The logistics were handled perfectly with a clear itinerary from when they would arrive, depart the hospital and arrive at airport and then arrive at the hospital in England…
Air Ambulance from Nice to Scotland
We cannot thank Ben, Craig and the team at SkyCare enough for bringing Christina home safely from Nice. From the moment we first made contact, the level of professionalism and care was outstanding.

I honestly cannot put into words how grateful I am to Skycare Repatriation for what they did for me during the worst week of my life.After being seriously injured abroad and feeling completely alone and vulnerable, they stepped in and quite literally changed everything.

Air Ambulance from Marbella to Poole
“This case involved a medical repatriation from Marbella to the UK, requiring rapid coordination between local healthcare providers and UK hospital services.”

Air Ambulance from Benidorm to London
Craig and his team of medics were absolutely amazing in our time of desperation. They were on hand from the moment I contacted them with our incident, taking all the stress and pressure of being in Spain away and helping us to navigate this awful, scary and frightening situation with his calm and supportive manner. From the moment the team landed in Spain, they took control, my nephew was air lifted back to the UK with such precision and kindness…
Commercial Medical Escort from Turkey to London
Communication and arranging the difficult journey back to the UK with SkyCare was easy. The team guided us through all the necessary steps to arrange the permissions and were professional and understanding of all the issues.
On the day Tasha and Sam met us and travelled the whole journey back. The ambulance arranged both ends was on time and comfortable…
Air Ambulance from London to Italy
The SkyCare team proposed two options for repatriation and helped me all along explore them, understand them, and plan accordingly. Due to the nature of our emergency, plans changed all the time, but the SkyCare team were able to adapt on the fly, and produce new plans.
All along the communication was rapid, clear, professional, and I felt that someone was really taking care of our emergency.
Commercial Medical Escort from London to Bulgaria
I couldn’t praise Craig and the team more! Craig was a literal life-saver and helped me so much during one of the toughest times in my life. He organised everything in less than 24 hours. If you ever need medical repatriation, SkyCare are the one and only choice you should be considering.
Commercial Medical Escort from Colombia to Essex
The team were a godsend they brought my son back from a nightmare fall on holiday in Columbia. He was with the team and I flew separately home the next day. I had no worries once I met them of him going on his own with them they were so friendly and professional. Thank you to all the team in Columbia and in England arranging it, I would highly recommend this team if you unfortunately ever needed this care.
Commercial Medical Escort from Colombia
Abbie and Connor brought me back from Columbia and they done an exceptional job with transferring me on the connecting flight. Multiple changes on wheelchairs and as pain free as possible. I’m very grateful to them for getting home. Thank you so much to Sky care for arranging all of this.
Ambulance from Austria to the UK
I needed to repatriate a relative from Austria at really short notice following an accident. The team at Skycare were absolutely wonderful – they assembled a crew at a days notice, kept me updated throughout the trip and were so professional and trustworthy. I would absolutely recommend them. They made a really stressful situation so much better – thank you to Craig, Ben, Emma Charlie and whole crew. So grateful to you!
Air Ambulance from France to Suffolk
Big shout out to the whole SkyCare team for my repatriation last week. I spent 2 weeks in hospital in France from a skiing accident and major surgery. The whole day ran very smoothly and I couldn’t have been looked after any better…
Following a very poor and frustrating experience with a medical insurance company who seemed focussed only on delaying matters we contacted SkyCare to organise medical repatriation for a family member we needed to get back to the UK. From start to finish we felt SkyCare offered the highest level of service obviously wanting the best medically for our relative but also professionally and speedily dealing with the necessary administration and formalities when coming from Iceland to the UK…
“The team at SkyCare could not have done more in supporting me getting my partner home. The transfer care was second to none and the support leading up to the transfer was excellent. David (complete with his broken leg) arrived back to a bed in an NHS hospital arranged by SkyCare. There really are not enough superlatives to describe the difference Craig, Ben, Ross etc all made. Thank you.”
“SkyCare have truly been lifesavers for us and our daughter who was taken ill overseas. They not only arranged the escorted flight home for our daughter but undertook all the hard graft of locating and liaising with the relevant UK hospital to get our daughter admitted directly on arrival in the UK. First Class Service!”
I’m so grateful to Craig and the team at SkyCare for guiding us through a difficult period. The team were always responsive and went above and beyond to assist our specific circumstances and challenges, to find a solution that was a safe and practical for us. They were personal and professional and treated us with sensitivity and compassion. I would 100% recommend them to everyone.
Commercial Medical Escort from Funchal to London
At a very desperate time, I was fortunate enough to find SkyCare and their wonderful team. My mother had a stroke overseas. The insurance team let us down badly so I looked at finding independent services to repatriate her back to the UK. SkyCare were able to provide a detailed and transparent price breakdown within 2 hrs . They provided a new quote within 30 min when we had to adjust an element of the repatriation. My insurance service would not provide a detailed quote…
Road Ambulance from Worthing to London
A highly professional service, performed so efficiently at a moments notice, with kindness and even a little humour at such a difficult time for us. Highly recommend.
Craig and Ben were absolutely brilliant! The process was flawless and after the chaos of the incident that happened to my mum, Craig was fantastic in organizing everything so I didn’t need to worry! It went seamlessly and everyone was so kind! Best money spent to get my mum home for emergency surgery!! Hi Craig my name is Frank father of Louise (patient) & grandad of Liberty. Your company is exceptional, professional, with a wonderful caring attitude. Thank you so much for looking after my daughter. I recommend your company highly.
Superb service, from first contact to a positive result of repatriating my husband to a UK hospital, the support and care was fantastic. My husband Jim had a stroke at our house in Greece, after emergency treatment he was placed on a ward, which was awful. He had lost his speech and all movement on his right hand side. It is up to relatives to look after the patient in hospital, they only provide medical care. I was so stressed, trying to care for him…
Medical Repatriation Advice and Support
I recently spoke to Craig from SkyCare when my mum was seriously injured overseas and it looked like a medical repatriation was needed. His advice and communication was superb, helping me to navigate a market which appears to be full of brokers with misleading prices and shocking reviews. Fortunately, my mum was deemed stable enough to fly home commercially, and yet Craig still continued to provide advice even though…
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
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.
