What do you do if you need medical support on a commercial flight?

Whether someone’s recently broken their leg and needs to get home, or is recently diagnosed with diabetes and needs help managing insulin, or is newly on oxygen and needs support for managing that in-flight, or a multitude of other scenarios, there are many situations where people need medical help on a commercial flight.

Air Ambulance Worldwide offers trained medical escorts who can help people get wherever they need to go – almost anywhere in the world.
