Domestic Air Ambulance Transportation
For patients within India who experience a sudden, severe health emergency far from a hospital, Vi-CCAAS can provide life-saving domestic air ambulance transport.
- Airlift from Scene: We dispatch an air ambulance to the location of trauma incidents, heart attacks, accidents, or sudden illness episodes to stabilize and transport patients urgently.
- Inter-Facility Transfers: We swiftly transfer critically ill patients between hospital facilities for specialized care or diagnostics not available at the originating facility.
- Repatriation: Patients hospitalized away from home can be repatriated closer to family once stable enough for air medical transport. Our fleet of medically equipped aircraft can fly patients from even India’s most remote rural or mountainous regions to major metropolitan hospitals within a matter of hours. We utilize jets, propeller aircraft, and helicopters equipped as flying Intensive Care Units (ICUs) to provide enroute critical care.
