Medical Escorts on Commercial Flights
Long distance patient transfers in Canada and worldwide
Transporting a patient on a commercial flight could be your best long-distance option!
International Medical Repatriation
Long-distance patient transport by air and ground
We organize international patient transfers from bed to bed, to and from Canada, or anywhere in the world on commercial flights. Our medical escorts are fully equipped to provide basic or advanced patient care.
Commercial Airline Stretcher Service
Transport a bed-ridden patient on a budget
We safely transport bed-bound patients between Canada and cities in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, by commercial airline stretcher service, at a fraction of the cost of an air ambulance.
Long distance Elderly Relocations
The most comfortable way of moving a care-dependent person
We assist with the relocation of elderly and chronically ill people within Canada, across North America and to and from any international destination for people of advanced age who need to be transported over a long distance for long-term recovery, respite care or family reunion.
Travel Companions
Professional non-medical escort for an airline passenger
When a passenger cannot travel alone, one of our travel companions can be hired to travel along to any North American or international destination. It’s the best guarantee of a seamless journey.

Travel companions for hire
For many 80-plussers, hiring a professional travel companion is the best way to maintain independence and travel, despite any care needs.
Traveling with oxygen
Not only do we assist in setting up oxygen service in-flight and in-transit, but our flight nurses also monitor and intervene as needed.

Emergency repatriation assistance
When suffering a medical or family emergency overseas, not everyone can rely on travel insurance. We help families bring their loved ones back home as soon as possible and at an affordable cost.
End of life transfers
One’s desire to go back home for whatever time is left, can be strong. We help make it possible, by providing the medical assistance needed.
Dementia travel
Traveling with a dementia can be very challenging. Our flight nurses are best prepared to make it happen.
Mental health transfers
Our sub-group of flight nurses specialized in psychiatry have the necessary skills and tools to safely transport approved patients with a mental health condition onboard commercial flights or charters.
Private medical charters
If flying commercial is not an option, we can arrange a private plane and provide a fully equipped medical escort.
Medical tourism
We provide international travel assistance to patients in need of a second opinion, advanced diagnostics or highly specialized medical treatment, not available in their home country.
Why a medical travel companion will make the difference
On average, 150 medical emergencies occur on commercial flights, every day.
With a trained medical escort onboard, many of these events can be prevented. Our commercial medical escorts recognize and prevent travel-related problems before they escalate.
Health risks and patient care challenges that come with flying at altitude for long hours, are our specialty.
When traveling with one of our medical escorts you can expect:
-Ongoing assessments and monitoring
-Symptom control and assistance with all medication
-Uninterrupted medical and nursing care
-One-on-one medical, mental and travel support

We look for the best flight options to accommodate patient care.

We pick our patients up and drop them off at the door or at bedside, sometimes hours away from an international airport.
