An airline stretcher lets a patient travel lying down on a scheduled passenger flight โ often behind a privacy curtain โ when the airline approves and the medical condition allows. It is part of Medical Escort, not an air ambulance.
When intensive care in the air is required, or commercial travel is not possible, we assess a dedicated medical flight honestly, case by case.
