An air ambulance is for urgent medical transfer when the patient needs intensive care in the air โ with a flying physician/crew, ventilation and monitoring equipment, and full bed-to-bed coordination.
If the patient is relatively stable, a Medical Escort on a commercial flight may be the safer and more practical option. We say so clearly when that is the case.
