When it comes to air ambulances, most people only think of them during emergencies, and that means there’s a lot of confusion about how they work. At Bluedot, we believe awareness is the first step toward faster, safer care.
Let’s clear the air.
1. “Air ambulances are only for major disasters or war zones.” Not true.
Air ambulances are used every day for situations like:
Transferring patients to specialized hospitals
Bringing patients home from vacations or business trips
Handling neonatal or elderly care where time is critical
Bluedot handles everything from routine medical repatriations to complex critical care transports.
2. “They’re just private jets with a stretcher.” Far from it.
A real air ambulance is a flying ICU, complete with:
Life-support systems
Specialized stretchers and medical beds
A trained medical team on board
Bluedot ensures every flight meets medical and aviation standards, not luxury travel specs.
3. “Only governments or hospitals can arrange an air ambulance.”
Individuals, families, and insurers can too.
Whether you’re abroad on vacation or caring for a loved one at home, you can contact
Bluedot directly. Our 24/7 coordination team helps you plan the entire journey, from hospital bed to home bed, safely and quickly.
4. “It takes days to organize a medical flight.”
With the right team, it can happen in hours.
Thanks to our global network and on-call teams, Bluedot can often launch a mission within a few hours of confirmation, depending on logistics. Preparation is key, and that’s where experience matters.
5. “The service ends once the flight lands.”
True care goes beyond landing.
At Bluedot, we ensure bed-to-bed care. That includes:
Ground ambulances
Coordination with the receiving facility
Handover by our medical team
It’s not just about the flight, it’s about continuity.
Why This Matters
Understanding how air ambulance services really work helps patients, families, insurers, and providers make faster, safer choices in emergencies.
At Bluedot, we believe transparency is part of trust, and when you need us, you’ll know exactly what we do, how we do it, and why it matters.
