Commercial Escort
Commercial Escort – Not Every Patient Requires a Dedicated Air Ambulance or Full Medical Team.
For patients requiring minimal medical intervention who are able to sit in an upright position for extended periods, a Commercial Escort is a cost-effective and safe alternative. On these flights, the patient is transported via airline (commercial or charter), train, boat, bus or watercraft and will be accompanied during all phases of the transport by a Flight Nurse and/or Flight Paramedic. Options also exist for non-medical escort services as applicable.
Commercial Escort services are not available for all patients. A detailed medical assessment is required prior to scheduling the trip to ensure this mode of transportation is safe and appropriate. Restrictions do apply.

- Provide the necessary medical equipment and medication for comfortable transport
- Obtain medical clearances from the airlines prior to departure
- Assist with airport security processes, aircraft boarding, flight connections and deplaning
- Coordinate with sending and receiving facility medical staff
- Schedule ground transportation to/from the airport
