That is why our air ambulance helicopter service is built on a foundation of transparency and patient-centered care. With meticulous planning, experienced medical teams, and modern aircraft, we handle the complexities of medical transport so you can focus on your health or that of your loved one. In this guide, we will explain everything you need to know about medevac helicopters and how they can be the right choice for your medical transport needs.
Why choose our air ambulance helicopter service?
We transform challenging medical transports into seamless journeys, reaching remote islands and hard-to-access locations where traditional transport simply cannot go.

From the first call to the final handover, we handle every detail of your transport while keeping your comfort and safety at the heart of our mission.
What are our air ambulance helicopters?
Our air ambulance helicopters help patients reach medical care when regular transport options like ground ambulances are not the best choice. These specially fitted helicopters are perfect for:
Getting to places that are hard to reach by road,
Bringing patients to our medical jets for longer trips abroad, or
Moving patients safely between hospitals over difficult terrain.
Each helicopter has top medical equipment and a highly trained team, both medical staff and pilots, who work together to make sure every patient is comfortable and well-cared for throughout their journey.
How do our air ambulance helicopters help patients?
Our air ambulance helicopters play a critical, life-saving role when traditional transport methods are impractical or too slow. These aircraft are indispensable in situations where time-sensitive care and rapid access to specialized facilities are essential. For example, we have transported patients from isolated regions like the Hawaiian Islands, where local hospitals may lack advanced care capabilities, directly to mainland trauma centers.
What sets our helicopter medical services apart?
Our air ambulance helicopters are designed to deliver continuity of high-quality medical care during transit, ensuring patients remain stable and monitored throughout. Key features include:
Medical supervision: Each mission is staffed with a highly trained medical team, often including critical care paramedics or flight nurses with advanced certifications, ensuring constant oversight.
Controlled medical environment: The cabin functions as a mobile intensive care unit, equipped to handle trauma, cardiac, neonatal, and respiratory emergencies.
Terrain accessibility: Our helicopter ambulances can land in locations unreachable by ground ambulances—such as mountainous terrain.
Direct-to-hospital access: Helicopters can land on hospital helipads, eliminating time lost in surface transport and bypassing traffic, which is especially vital in urban scenarios.
Full equipment integration: Life-saving devices are onboard, along with specialized medications tailored to the patient's condition.
Global transfer capabilities: For international patients, helicopter transfers can serve as the first leg of a longer journey, connecting seamlessly to our air ambulance jets to ensure uninterrupted care across borders.
Before each mission, our aviation experts conduct a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s clinical needs, terrain conditions, and time sensitivity. This ensures helicopter transport is not only the safest and fastest option but also the most comfortable and appropriate for the specific situation.
What medical equipment is available on our air ambulance helicopters?
Our air ambulance helicopters are equipped with the same advanced medical equipment found in hospital intensive care units, ensuring continuous high-level care throughout transport. Each helicopter is configured as a flying medical suite to monitor and support patients with varying medical needs.
Our standard medical equipment includes:
Emergency medication kit.
Vital signs monitoring equipment.
Ventilators for respiratory support.
Advanced cardiac monitoring devices.
Infusion pumps for precise medication delivery.
Stretchers designed for patient comfort and safety.
Our experienced medical teams are thoroughly trained in using all onboard equipment, ensuring expert care delivery during transport. The specific equipment configuration is tailored to each patient's condition and needs, based on the detailed information provided to us before the flight.
What is the patient transport process with an air ambulance helicopter?
Getting a patient to the right care—fast—is what MTI 24/7 does best. Our helicopter transport process is tightly coordinated from start to finish, ensuring safety, speed, and top-tier medical care.
1. Request & Planning
Once you contact us, our team gathers details about the patient’s condition, equipment needs, and destination. We coordinate timing with the sending and receiving facilities—or the family—right away.
2. On-Site Medical Pickup
Our medical crew arrives early to connect with the local care team. After a detailed handoff, we carefully move the patient to our stretcher and double-check all monitoring and life-support gear before liftoff.
3. In-Flight Critical Care
During the flight, the patient is continuously monitored and treated in a cabin setup like an ICU. Our team stays in touch with the pilot to make any needed adjustments based on the patient’s condition.
4. Long-Distance Transfers
For longer trips, we transfer patients from the helicopter to our air ambulance jet—without a break in care. If a hospital doesn’t have a helipad, we use a ground ambulance for the final leg.
5. Safe Handoff
At the destination, our crew gives a full medical report to the receiving team and stays until the patient is safely settled in. We do not leave until we are sure everything’s in place.
