Your Child’s state of health and required medical personnel

The severity of your child’s medical needs determines the specialised equipment and experienced medical personnel the private air ambulance will be equipped with. Usually, children requiring special or ICU care typically require a private air ambulance jet or helicopter to transport them to the desired medical facility.

Your child will need to be accompanied by you or their guardian at this critical point in their life. The number of additional passengers will determine the aircraft size needed for the transport, which will in turn influence the costs.

Flight route and distance

The route and distance the private aircraft will have to travel also factor in the cost of the private international air ambulance for children’s needs.

Private air ambulance transportation is usually in a private ambulance jet or a helicopter ambulance. A private ambulance jet is requested when your child is in a critical condition needing special care and faster lead time to get to the destination hospital. If your child is in a situation where time is of the essence and medical repatriation is a short-distance trip, an ambulance helicopter will land at the hospital where your child is located and fly them straight to the destination hospital in the shortest time possible.
