Global patient transport by commercial flights

Malteser AeroMedical offers solutions adapted to patients’ needs during transport on commercial flights. Every effort is made in cooperation with an IATA agency and airlines to get patients to their destinations as comfortably as possible, without neglecting their medical care and patient safety. All flights organised by Malteser AeroMedical are accompanied by its own medical personnel. Depending on the flight route and illness in question, Malteser AeroMedical personnel use IATA and dedicated guidelines to determine which mode of transport can be an option for the respective patient and whether the route is served by an airline that permits such a transport.

Trust in our experience and the excellent medical care provided by our professional staff before, during, and after the flight.

The commercial medical flights organised by Malteser AeroMedical are always accompanied by specially trained medical personnel. A physician or paramedic/emergency medical technician will be assigned as required. Long-haul flights are always staffed with a physician and paramedic/emergency medical technician to ensure uninterrupted patient care.
