Commercial Stretcher Transport

We have formed strategic, unique and robust relationships with major airlines around the world in support of our global commercial airline stretcher program. In addition to working with major airlines, we have developed key relationships with air ambulance companies on each continent, as a feeder network for inter-continental stretcher cases.

As part of our Critical Care Transport program, our air ambulance medevac crews and equipment often travel on commercial airlines, and by commercial airline stretcher, with high level patients. Our strategic relationships with major carries such as Emirates Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Lufthansa and Air New Zealand provide LIFESUPPORT Air Medical Services and our clients with access to true inter-continental, long range transport resources on a global basis, at a fraction of the cost of traditional air ambulance transport.
