Medical Evacuation Jet Charter

The request is handled 24/7. First, the medical team reviews the patient’s current medical reports and speaks with the treating doctors. In parallel, a suitable aircraft, landing permits and the receiving hospital are coordinated. The transfer then runs hospital to hospital: an ambulance to the aircraft, an ICU-configured cabin with the medical team throughout the flight, and on landing a handover to the ambulance and medical staff who take the patient on to the receiving hospital.

The medical team makes that assessment, based on up-to-date medical reports and consultation with the doctors currently treating the patient. They decide whether the flight can go ahead, what equipment and staffing are needed on board, and whether anything must happen before departure. JETX.VIP coordinates the aviation side and does not give medical advice; the flight plan follows the medical team’s decision and is adjusted if the patient’s condition changes.

Yes, neonatal and pediatric transport is available. Babies and children fly with a medical team and equipment suited to their age and condition, and, as with every medical flight, the transfer is coordinated from hospital to hospital. The medical team decides on fitness to fly after reviewing the child’s medical records. Whether a parent can travel alongside depends on space on board and the medical team’s assessment, so ask about this at the start.

Yes. Medical flights are arranged both to and from Israel and between other countries worldwide, for example to bring home someone who fell ill abroad or to transfer a patient to a hospital in another country for treatment. Some of the aircraft used are foreign-registered, which can ease preparation and widen the range of countries the flight can serve. Patient information is handled with strict confidentiality and shared only with those directly involved in the transfer.

The cost depends on distance and flight time, the aircraft type, the level of care and equipment needed on board, the size of the medical team, ground ambulance transfers at both ends, airport fees and permits. Because every case is different, a quote is prepared once the medical details and route are known, with no obligation. The service suits holders of medical travel insurance, but coverage depends on your policy, so contact your insurer’s assistance line early.
