What We Do

Our Key Services

Medical Escort

A medical escort provides clinically supervised travel for patients who are well enough to fly commercially but require professional medical support en route. Our escorts are experienced nurses or paramedics trained in in‑flight care, familiar with airline procedures and able to manage medications, monitoring and routine interventions, while remaining prepared to respond to any deterioration or emergency during the journey.

Medical Escort

For patients who do not require constant medical care but who have to travel lying down and under medical supervision, stretcher transport on a commercial flight is a low-cost alternative to an air ambulance.

We offer a medical repatriation service on many flight routes. Qualified medics accompany the patient and, should any complications arise, can offer quick assistance.

The patient travels on a stretcher installed in the passenger cabin,  separated from other passengers by a screen to ensure privacy. Next of kin, as well as medical staff, can travel with the patient.

The patient will be transferred to and from the aeroplane by ambulance, and will board and disembark the plane on a stretcher.

Air Ambulance (Private Jet)

A private jet configured as an air ambulance offers rapid, discreet long‑range transfers with an onboard intermediate care unit. The cabin is adapted to accommodate essential monitoring, oxygen therapy, infusion pumps and a bed, while a dedicated medical team — a senior physician or nurse and a critical care paramedic — provides continuous clinical oversight and stabilisation.

This option balances comfort, privacy and clinical capability for patients who do not require intensive care but need more support than a standard commercial flight. We manage flight planning, permits, ground transfers and hospital handover to ensure a seamless, clinically led repatriation.

Air Ambulance (ICU Configuration)

An air ambulance is a specialist aircraft service that provides rapid medical transport and in‑flight critical care for emergencies, inter‑hospital transfers and international repatriations. It brings together experienced clinical teams, advanced life‑support equipment and aviation expertise to move patients safely and efficiently over distances where road ambulances would be impractical.

Air ambulances operate as flying intensive care units: aircraft are fitted with ventilators, cardiac monitors, infusion pumps and other critical‑care kit, and are staffed by clinicians trained in aeromedical medicine, such as consultant physicians, critical‑care nurses and paramedics.

Road Ambulance

Long‑distance road ambulance services provide clinically supported ground transfers for patients requiring specialist care over extended distances.

Our vehicles are fitted with ventilators, monitors and infusion pumps, and staffed by experienced critical‑care nurses and paramedics trained in long‑haul patient management.

Each transfer follows a bespoke clinical plan covering route, scheduled stops, staffing and escalation pathways to maintain stability and comfort.

We manage logistics including driver rotations, vehicle maintenance and ground handovers, and handle insurer and hospital liaison. Rigorous infection control, equipment checks and staff competency assessments underpin safety.

Customers

What Our Customers Say

I cannot praise Emergency Service and Training Ltd highly enough for the repatriation from Hong Kong to London. From the initial clinical assessment to the final hospital handover, their team displayed exceptional professionalism, compassion and attention to detail. Communication was clear throughout: flight planning, permits and insurer liaison were handled promptly, and I was kept informed at every stage. The medical escort provided continuous, calm clinical care, managing medications and monitoring with confidence. Ground transfers, stretcher arrangements and documentation were seamless, which made a highly stressful situation far more manageable. The whole operation felt safe, efficient and deeply humane. I would recommend their repatriation service without hesitation.

James Harrington, Hong KongHong Kong - London (United Kingdom)

I engaged ESAT for a medical escort from Thailand to Vancouver in first‑class and was very impressed. The team carried out a prompt clinical assessment, co‑ordinated permits and flight logistics, and ensured a smooth handover at the receiving hospital. Travelling first‑class made the journey considerably more comfortable, but it was the clinical care that stood out: the escort maintained vigilant monitoring, managed medications precisely and liaised effectively with the cabin crew and insurers. Communication was clear throughout, and ground transfers were seamless. The operation was professional, efficient and reassuring, and I would not hesitate to recommend their service.

Sophie MacKenzie, Vancouver, Canadakoh samui (Thailand) - Vancouver (Canada)

I used Emergency Service and Training Ltd for an air ambulance transfer from Malawi to Chicago and was extremely impressed. From my first call, the team was calm, efficient, and reassuring. They completed a thorough clinical assessment, organized the flight plan, and secured all necessary permits and clearances quickly and professionally.

The medical crew were outstanding, skilled, attentive, and compassionate. They managed monitoring and medications precisely throughout the journey, and the patient remained stable and comfortable. Ground transfers at both ends were seamless, with stretcher and ambulance handovers coordinated without any issues. Communication was consistent and clear, with regular updates to family and the receiving hospital.

The handover in Chicago was thorough, ensuring continuity of care and providing complete documentation for the receiving clinical team. The entire operation felt safe, well organized, and deeply humane. I would wholeheartedly recommend their air ambulance service.
