Range depends on aircraft category. Light jets are ideal for short to medium distances such as
intra-European transfers, typically 1,500–2,500 km. Midsize jets cover 3,000–4,500 km, offering
stability and speed for regional and continental missions. Long-range jets can exceed 7,000–10,000
km and support 8–12 hour non-stop flights between continents. This flexibility allows us to minimize
fuel stops and reduce stress for critical patients. Aircraft selection is always tailored to the patient’s
medical condition, flight time constraints, weather, and operational feasibility.
Flight
Operations
Does cabin pressure affect patient conditions?
Yes. Cabin pressure can influence respiratory, cardiac, and neurological stability. Even though jets
cruise at 35,000–45,000 feet, cabin altitude is usually maintained between 6,000 and 8,000 feet.
For sensitive conditions—such as pneumothorax risk, severe COPD, intracranial pressure issues,
or high oxygen dependency—we may select aircraft capable of maintaining lower cabin altitude or
near sea-level pressure. Pre-flight assessment ensures that cabin conditions match clinical
requirements.
Flight
Operations
Do flights require refueling stops?
Some long-distance missions require refueling depending on aircraft type, weather conditions,
winds, and payload. When stops are necessary, we choose airports with efficient medical handling,
minimal taxiing time, and quick turnaround capability. The medical team remains with the patient,
and onboard systems—ventilation, heating, oxygen, monitoring—remain stable. For fragile patients,
long-range jets are preferred to avoid interruptions.
Flight
Operations
Can companions travel with the patient?
Yes. Depending on aircraft size and medical configuration, one to three companions may travel with
the patient. We prioritize medical equipment and crew access, but emotional support from family
members is considered important. Companions receive safety briefings and may sit close to the
patient when space and medical configuration permit.
Flight
Operations
Are pets allowed?
In certain cases, small pets may accompany the patient if regulations and hygiene conditions allow.
Travel carriers and documentation (vaccination, microchip, vet certificate) must be prepared. The
medical team evaluates whether the presence of a pet poses any safety or infection-control
concerns during the mission.
Flight
Operations
Do aircraft have power systems for medical devices?
Yes. Aircraft are equipped with aviation-certified power outlets, inverters, and backup battery
systems capable of supporting ventilators, infusion pumps, monitors, and incubators throughout the
flight. Redundancy is essential: critical-care equipment has both onboard power supply and
independent battery backup.
Flight
Operations
Can aircraft carry medical cargo?
Yes. Organ transport containers, refrigerated boxes, medical kits, ECMO systems, and spare
oxygen cylinders can be transported when properly secured. Weight-and-balance calculations
ensure that cargo does not interfere with aircraft performance. For high-value or time-sensitive
medical cargo, we plan priority handling at all terminals.
Flight
Operations
Do pilots receive special training for medical missions?
Yes. Pilots operating medical flights receive additional training covering emergency diversion
procedures, cabin-pressurization management, patient-optimized flight profiles, short-notice
departure protocols, and coordination with medical crews. They are trained to maintain smooth
flight conditions—avoiding unnecessary banking or turbulence when possible—to enhance patient
comfort and clinical stability.
Flight
Operations
Can you operate in remote or short-runway airports?
Yes. Certain turboprops and light jets have excellent performance for short or semi-prepared
runways, making them suitable for isolated regions. Before approving operations, we verify runway
length, slope, elevation, obstacles, lighting, ground services, and airport medical infrastructure.
These assessments ensure safe access even in challenging environments.
Flight
Operations
How do you plan flight routes for critical patients?
Route planning considers weather, turbulence risk, alternate airports, oxygen consumption,
pressurization needs, and medical requirements such as minimizing climb and descent rates. We
also assess geopolitical constraints and overflight permits. For unstable patients, smoother altitudes
or optimized profiles are chosen, and long-range jets may be preferred to reduce intermediate
stops.
Flight
Operations
At what altitude does a private jet typically fly?
Most private jets cruise between 35,000 and 45,000 feet, where air traffic is lighter and fuel
efficiency is optimal. However, cabin altitude remains the key factor for patient care. Modern
business jets maintain cabin altitudes far lower than the external altitude. For delicate patients,
mission planning may include restrictions on climb rates or a lower maximum cruising altitude to
maintain a stable cabin environment.
Flight
Operations
Can we still fly if the patient cannot tolerate a 7,000-foot cabin altitude?
Yes. For patients with severe respiratory disease, cardiac instability, recent neurosurgery, or
untreated pneumothorax risk, a low-cabin-altitude flight profile can be arranged. This may involve
selecting aircraft with stronger pressurization systems, adjusting payload, and planning reduced
cruising altitudes. Additional oxygen reserves and ventilation adaptations are prepared in advance.
These missions require precise coordination between pilots, medical staff, and dispatch to maintain
sea-level-equivalent cabin pressure whenever required.
