Air ambulance services can provide flights around the clock, taking patients that are in deparate need of immediate help.
Air ambulances can be helicopters or planes and most air ambulance aircraft are fully equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment and medical staff. A Learjet air ambulance aircraft is ideal for situations where the patient needs comfort, distance and reliablity. International transfers via Air Ambulance usuall require a minimum of 24 hours advance notice and guarantee of payment. FAA rules prohibit a flight crew ( including air ambulance ) from flying more than 12 hours a day, so coordination and advance placement of multiple flight crews is required for very long air ambulance transfers.
