Private medical flights
Italian Private Jets Rental company will help you to rent a private jet for fast and safe transportation of an injured or sick person. We organize specialized flights for treatment, as well as return flights from medical institutions. We will help with the organization of support by doctors or nurses throughout the route. Business aviation, represented by the Italian Private Jets air broker, is ready to prepare a medical board for transporting a recumbent and low-mobility passenger to European countries and to leading clinics in Italy. We have got 15 years of successful work in business aviation, and we have studied the experience of leading specialists in the air transportation of seriously ill people, employees of evacuation and repatriation services of patients from remote regions, specialists in the field of insurance medicine, and major airlines. All this allows us to professionally organize sanitary flights, as well as international flights, within the framework of medical aviation.
Goals and objectives of medical aviation
Air ambulance operates primarily in the interests of the patient. Medical flights are organized in order to deliver a bedridden, injured, or seriously ill patient for treatment to narrow-profile medical centers or for rehabilitation to specialized rehabilitation clinics.
Emergency evacuation is carried out in situations where injured patients need to be urgently evacuated from the scene of a disaster or a man-made accident. Medical flights are also used in cases when it is necessary to bring patients home or transport them to relatives in another city or country.
Seriously ill and injured people can also be evacuated by civil aviation aircraft. However, as a rule, it is necessary to book a ticket and accompany people in advance, and in some cases, airlines may refuse to fly for various reasons.
Business aviation, unlike civil aviation, can organize medical flights regardless of the specifics of the flight and the client's condition. Italian Private Jets employees can make a flight using various modes of transport to ensure maximum speed and passenger convenience. For example, if necessary, it is possible to use helicopters, as well as mobile ICUs, accompanied by a team of doctors. If necessary, the aircraft will take to the air within 3-5 hours from the moment of filing the application.
The advantages of booking a medical flight through an air broker include:
- Efficiency;
- The ability to choose the type and model of a business jet;
- Creation of optimal conditions on board for the patient and accompanying people;
- No strangers in the cabin;
- High flight safety;
- Assistance in collecting documents and permits for a flight to another state.
Transportation of a patient by plane is sometimes the only possibility of fast and safe transportation. It is dangerous to transport seriously ill people over long distances by land transport, as travel time is lost, and shaking increases the load on internal organs. Our pilots ensure a smooth flight and a soft landing, so even the most difficult patients can easily endure such a journey.

Private air ambulance planes
A seriously ill passenger cannot be transported on a business jet with standard equipment. Therefore, the aircraft is prepared for flight in advance, or special medical transport is used.
Transportation of a patient by medical aviation involves the use of three types of aircraft:
- A regular business jet. This is the best option if the passenger does not need to be connected to life support devices and his/her condition is closer to normal. A part of the seats for the installation of stretchers and medical equipment is removed from the cabin. The patient can also be placed on a sofa or on a transformable chair;
- A medical jet. This is a special board equipped with all the necessary medical equipment and a module for placing a patient in it. Transportation by medical plane is necessary if the passenger is in critical condition, and deterioration of his/her well-being in the air is not excluded. Such a flight is necessarily accompanied by doctors who, if necessary, provide emergency assistance;
- A cargo jet. The patient is taken to the plane by an ambulance, in which the entire flight takes place. As a rule, this is a resuscitation ambulance, which will take the passenger to the destination in the future. Such transportation is necessary if the client cannot move once again or in case of severe damage requiring minimal mobility. The use of a cargo board is also convenient because a passenger can be transported from the airport to the clinic directly by car, and this saves time and effort well.
If a medical flight is planned on a business jet, then choose planes with spacious cabins and with the ability to stand in them at full height. Free space improves the quality of emergency care on board.
Aircraft models used
The transportation of seriously ill passengers is carried out by aircraft with resuscitation beds, a set of complex equipment, and a supply of drugs. There must be an independent power source on board, which can be activated if the onboard power supply is turned off. Besides the medical equipment, innovative navigation systems are also installed on board, which will allow the plane to take off and land regardless of weather conditions and time of day.
When organizing a medical flight, air brokers often opt for the following business jets:
- CESSNA CITATION X. Cessna is one of the fastest civilian aircraft. The salon has all the possibilities for connecting medical modules and accommodating a team of doctors. According to the technical capabilities of the CESSNA CITATION X, it can land at airports of any type;
- CHALLENGER 604. It is suitable for long- and medium-distance flights. The plane is equipped with advanced avionics. A heating system is installed on board, and satellite communication with ground services is provided. There is enough space inside the cabin to install bulky equipment, and there are devices for fixing stretchers;
- HAWKER 800XP. The American aircraft is designed to carry 8 passengers. In a typical configuration, a place for a bedridden patient is provided in the rear compartment. The cabin provides you with an opportunity to connect all medical modules, including a ventilator;
- Pilatus PC-12. A single-engine aircraft with a flight range without refueling up to 2.9 thousand km. Pilatus was created as a platform on the basis of which it is possible to make an ambulance plane, cargo board, a plane for VIP transportation, and special missions. The cabin is spacious with a large luggage compartment, it freely accommodates a resuscitation module for one passenger with all the necessary equipment. Air conditioning and noise reduction systems are provided.
If there is an urgent need to transport a patient, you can use any business jet, in which it is possible to remove the chairs or install a stretcher on top of them.
What medical equipment should be on board?
A seriously ill passenger is transported only on aircraft with the devices that may be required to maintain vital functions and to provide emergency assistance in the air.
Most often, medical aircraft are completed with:
- LifePort resuscitation complex with a vacuum mattress and a mechanism that ensures safe loading of a disabled passenger on board;
- An oxygen cylinder with a capacity of at least 6 thousand liters and an additional mobile cylinder;
- A heart monitor for recording vital signs;
- Compact defibrillator, for example, Welch Allyn PIC40;
- A ventilator with several modes of operation;
- Portable cartridge-type analyzers for urgent analyses;
- Infusion and syringe pumps;
- Resuscitation kits.
The stock of drugs is selected based on the severity of the patient's condition and the diagnosis. There must be a first aid kit on board with drugs used in emergency conditions.
The cost of the flight depends on the type of liner
The flight hour of each type of aircraft has their own price. It makes up the bulk of the total amount. If you want to know the approximate cost of flying on a private plane, it is enough to know that the flight hour on:
- Large aircraft, for example, Legacy 600, costs an average of 5.5 to 7 thousand euros;
- Light and medium aircraft cost from 2.5 to 4 thousand euros;
- Medium-class aircraft - from 3.5 to 4.5 thousand euros;
- Business liners – from 12 thousand euros;

The cheapest flight on turboprop aircraft costs about 1 thousand euros per hour. However, such models are mainly used only when organizing flights between neighboring cities lasting no more than 2 hours.
The cost of the flight includes:
- rental of a private plane with a pilot and crew along the entire route;
- payment of airport charges on the way;
- standard VIP meals for passengers;
- round-the-clock informing of the customer or his authorized persons about the progress of the flight;

Features of transportation of bedridden patients on a business jet
When booking a private plane to transport a bedridden patient, the route, the urgency of transportation, the patient's condition, and the number of accompanying persons are specified. Permission to fly must be given by a doctor, the certificate indicates the conditions of the flight, the need for medical procedures in the air. Based on these data, a business jet model is selected. If necessary, some of the seats are removed from the cabin, and a medical module is installed in their place to accommodate the patient and all the necessary equipment.
The patient is taken from the clinic by ambulance and transported by car directly to the plane. All pre-flight procedures for a seriously ill passenger are carried out by accompanying people. A recumbent person is most often lifted on board with the help of an ambulift.
If you want the flight to take place in the most comfortable environment, it is necessary to provide:
- Onboard systems that equalize pressure and maintain the desired temperature and humidity;
- Noise attenuation complexes;
- Proper placement of furniture – it should not interfere with emergency assistance;
- Individual nutrition – a special diet or intravenous nutrition is usually provided for seriously ill patients.
Renting a private plane for sanitary transportation is much more convenient than flying on a civilian plane. Only doctors and relatives are on board, there are all conditions for medical procedures, and the liner is operated by an experienced crew capable of providing flight without shaking and vibration.
Features of medical evacuation
Sanitary aviation can be divided into planned and emergency ones. In the first case, the passenger's condition allows you to carefully prepare the board for transportation. Emergency transportation is called evacuation. Its difference from a standard medical flight is that very little time is given to prepare the board.
Patients need medical evacuation:
- With dangerous wounds, or injuries of internal organs, the treatment of which requires immediate delivery of the patient to a specialized clinic;
- In a coma (hyper, hypoglycemic, painful, or shock);
- With stroke and heart attack;
- With severe poisoning;
- With acutely developing hepatic and renal insufficiency;
- With mental disorders that pose a danger to others;
- With anaphylactic shock;
- With a prolonged asthma attack.
Emergency evacuation is necessary for women if there are signs of a threat of termination of pregnancy or urgent delivery. Hospitalization by plane is often required for children with severe pneumonia, shortness of breath, and epilepsy. Premature babies are evacuated in special newborn ICUs.
Air ambulance makes it possible to deliver a patient to a medical center in 1-2 hours, and this significantly increases the chances of successful recovery and preservation of the functionality of the whole organism.
Evacuation is often carried out by private helicopters. This transport is used if it is necessary to pick up the patient from those settlements where there is no airport, from the crash site, or on a busy highway.
Medical helicopters
Private helicopters are used in the organization of medical transportation not only during the evacuation but also in other cases. Сombined flights are often made in such a way that a part of the way is overcome by a plane and the other part – by a helicopter. It is often more convenient and faster to pick up a passenger from the airport of landing on a helicopter and deliver him/her to a specialized clinic.
The following helicopters are most often used when organizing medical flights in Italy and Europe:
- Eurocopter EC 145;
- Robinson R44;
- Helicopters MD Explorer;
- MBB Bo-105.
Flights to Europe for treatment – what documents are required
Each country has its own list of documents that may be required from a patient crossing the border. The mandatory ones are a passport or a European ID.
Besides that, you may need:
- Contract with the host clinic;
- Medical documentation – X-rays, medical history, epicrisis. The documents must be translated into the official language of the receiving state;
- Certificates confirming financial security;
- Medical insurance;
- Documents for the accompanying person.
Italian Private Jets employees will provide a complete list of documents for traveling abroad for treatment or surgery after determining the route features. If necessary, our lawyer will help to collect all the necessary permits and assist in their translation into the desired language. If a passenger needs to constantly take strong drugs, then they must have an appropriate prescription with all the seals and signatures of doctors.
Medical tourism
Medical tourism was quite developed before the pandemic. Now, this direction is also beginning to gradually revive. It primarily means a private flight to a pre-selected state and clinic for the purpose of treatment or for a planned operation. Medical tours are chosen if the methods of treatment in their country are not satisfactory or there are no experienced doctors or equipment.
People most often fly abroad to solve cardiac problems, to treat oncology or diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
The most popular destinations:
- Germany. The country provides high-tech assistance in oncology, and qualified cardio and neurosurgeons are accepted here;
- Israel. The country has highly developed care for patients with cardiovascular diseases, urological pathologies and has extensive experience in transplantology;
- Switzerland. In this state, assistance is provided in almost all directions, but the services are quite expensive.
Medical tourism is well developed in Thailand, India, China, Bulgaria, and Austria. Health tours are organized by special organizations, and in most cases, tourists travel to the destination country by private planes.
The most frequent questions from customers
What are the options for transporting a seriously ill passenger?
The patient can be transported on a regular plane or with the help of a personal air broker. Our company offers different transportation options – on a medical plane, on a converted business jet, or on a cargo model. We provide the service on a turnkey basis, that is, we fully undertake the organization of the flight.
Which transportation option is the fastest?
If an urgent evacuation is needed, then a helicopter should be used. It can be prepared for the flight within 1-2 hours. It can land on any flat ground and take off without a runway.
What is the most expensive type of medical transportation?
A flight hour on special medical aircraft costs much more than renting a classic business jet. However, if an elite business liner is used for transportation, then the price of the flight will be comparable to a full-fledged medical business jet.
In which cases is only a charter plane suitable for transportation?
Transportation of a patient by civil aviation flights is not possible if:
- Urgent evacuation is required;
- There is no time to prepare the patient;
- The patient needs to be transported to a place where airports do not accept ordinary planes;
- Due to illness or mental characteristics, the passenger must be in the cabin without unauthorized people.
Helicopters are used if the distance to the destination allows you to fly without landing for refueling.
Do you provide an escort?
Italian Private Jets can offer you to accompany a patient with:
- Resuscitation team. It includes doctors who are able to provide qualified assistance in the air;
- Paramedics. The patient's condition is monitored, the drugs are administered, the medical equipment is connected if necessary;
- Junior medical staff. Nurses usually accompany only those passengers whose condition is stable and who do not need emergency care.
The cost of transporting a patient by private plane costs tens of thousands of euros, but sometimes only such transportation guarantees the preservation of life and the absence of health problems in the future.
Payment terms
After signing a business jet rental agreement, you can pay for the service in cash, by bank card, cryptocurrency, or with an invoice. If necessary, we always meet customers halfway and select the most acceptable payment options for them. We cooperate with leading Italian and European banks – therefore, in most cases, we manage to make all the necessary payments promptly.
We provide all the necessary documentation for your accounting department and prescribe transparent conditions for canceling flights (in case your plans have changed). We always try to find a consensus with the owners of the aircraft and make sure that the amount of the fine is minimal, especially if the flight was canceled due to force majeure.
How to pay for a flight
- We agree on the terms of the contract and send it to you by e-mail or messenger
- We issue you an invoice with a fixed price
- After the receipt of payment, we secure the board for you

Book a flight
You can book a private flight online through a special form on the website. After receiving the request, the air broker will contact you to clarify the details, after which we will promptly provide suitable options. At the same time, if you are not satisfied with the price, the year of manufacture of the aircraft, or any other nuances, we will adjust the search and offer alternative options.
You can also order a private jet rental via WhatsApp, Telegram, and e-mail messengers. The company accepts orders around the clock. It is possible to organize urgent flights in 3-5 hours after the request. However, if you want to get the perfect option, we recommend that you make applications in advance so that the operator has more time to search for a business jet and negotiate terms with its owner.
