Our international capabilities mean that no matter the destination, we have the resources and expertise to handle your transport needs.


Navigating International Regulations and Logistics

International medical flights come with their own set of unique challenges, including navigating various aviation regulations, medical protocols, and customs requirements. At Atlas Air Ambulance, we have experience working with international health and aviation authorities, ensuring that all flights comply with the necessary regulations.

  • Visa and Documentation Support: We assist in handling the necessary documentation, including visas, patient records, and any other paperwork required for international transport.

  • Coordination with Local Authorities: Our team works closely with local health and aviation authorities to ensure smooth transitions during patient transfers. Whether coordinating ground transportation at the destination or ensuring proper clearance for medical equipment, we take care of all the details.

Equipped for Long-Distance Medical Care

Our aircraft are fully outfitted with advanced medical equipment, transforming them into flying ICUs capable of providing continuous care during long-haul flights. Whether transporting a patient from a remote region or flying across continents, we offer the same high level of care and expertise throughout the journey.

  • Highly Trained Medical Teams: Our medical crews consist of flight nurses, paramedics, and other specialists trained in critical care, trauma management, and long-distance patient monitoring. They are prepared to handle any medical situation that may arise during the flight.


Medical Repatriation: Bringing Patients Home Safely

One of the most common reasons for international medical flights is medical repatriation—bringing patients back to their home country for further treatment or recovery. Atlas Air Ambulance specializes in these delicate missions, ensuring that patients are safely transported from one country to another with minimal disruption.

  • Coordination with Hospitals: We work directly with both the departing and receiving medical facilities to ensure a smooth handover of care. Our goal is to provide continuity, so there’s no gap in treatment during the transition.

  • Family Communication: During an international medical flight, we keep families informed every step of the way. Our team ensures that loved ones are aware of the patient’s condition, flight progress, and estimated arrival times.


Navigating insurance for international medical flights can be complex, but we are here to assist. Atlas Air Ambulance works with a variety of international insurance providers, helping patients and families secure the coverage they need. We offer support throughout the insurance verification and reimbursement process, ensuring that financial concerns are minimized during an already stressful time.

  • Pre-Flight Insurance Verification: Whenever possible, we work with international insurance providers to verify coverage before the flight, giving families peace of mind.

  • Post-Flight Claims Assistance: After the flight, our team assists with submitting claims and ensuring that the proper documentation is provided to the insurance company.
