If your patient is unable to sit upright aboard commercial aircraft or requires specialized critical care staff or equipment, then an air ambulance is recommended.

We are able to move most patients once they have been stabilized in a hospital, though continued medical care is still required.

Once we are provided with patient information, including their destination medical facility, our chief flight nurse will arrange all patient flight details including:

• Reviewing patient information
• Contacting the destination medical facility for an up-to-date medical report
• Consulting the medical director and assigning appropriate medical staff
• Arranging or confirming the receiving medical facility information

Fox Flight Inc. provides bed-to-bed services for patients requiring aeromedical transfer, sourced individually or through a hospital or insurance company. Just contact Fox Flight to get a quote and our representative will walk you through the process.

In a typical “bed-to-bed” patient transfer, the Fox Flight medical team (or medical escort in the case of a commercial transfer) arrives at the bedside at the sending hospital and takes over responsibility for the patient. The medical team then accompanies the patient to the airport via ground ambulance and monitors their condition throughout the flight. Upon landing, the team accompanies the patient to the destination hospital. Once the patient is received at the destination medical facility, transfer of care is complete.

All costs and related fees are included in the quoted price, which is generally provided in either Canadian dollars (CAD) or US dollars (USD). However, if a quote is required in another currency, we can provide conversions upon request.
