Italy Air Ambulance
A patient-transfer enquiry starts with the current healthcare facility and intended receiving centre. Flight planning must be considered alongside medical assessment, aircraft and team availability, hospital acceptance and ground connections. A service description cannot establish an individual patient’s fitness to travel or a confirmed departure.

Focus on these details for this enquiry
For an Italy transfer, provide the hospital’s full address and receiving facility alongside the departure city. If an airport in another area is proposed, ask how the patient’s ground journey will be planned. Distinguish in writing a flight-only proposal from coordination between the two hospitals. For a transfer to or from Türkiye or on another international route, provide both actual hospital addresses. Rome Fiumicino and Ciampino are not the same handover point; the operator confirms a usable airport against the hospital location and aircraft suitability. If the airport changes, reconfirm the ground ambulance meeting point and time and the hospital handover plan. No particular airport or fixed transfer time is guaranteed.
Departure and destination locations covered in this guide
Rome, Milan, Naples, Turin, Palermo, Bologna, Florence, Bari.
This list is not a flight or availability confirmation. Provide the actual starting point and final address; usable airports and connections need separate assessment.
Prepare for the initial conversation
- Current hospital, city and department contact.
- Receiving facility and the status of acceptance.
- Requested date, companion numbers and ground ambulance needs.
- Recent medical information requested by the coordinator; ask for an appropriate document-transfer channel first.
Compare the options and complete service scope
A dedicated air ambulance and medical escort on a commercial flight are different services. Ask the relevant medical and operational teams which options can be assessed. Check separate inclusions for flight, medical team, equipment, ambulances, waiting and handover coordination. Request written payment and change terms. A scheduled-flight option also requires the airline’s separate acceptance of the patient and required support arrangements. Confirm the companion seat in the written quote after the cabin layout and equipment required for the patient have been assessed.
Frequently asked questions
Can a companion travel on the same aircraft?
Passenger numbers, cabin capacity and the team and equipment needed for the patient are assessed together. Companion seating requires confirmation.
Is the requested date a confirmed departure?
An enquiry starts an assessment. The requested time is not a confirmed programme before medical, hospital and operational arrangements are clarified.

Which costs should the written quotation clarify?
Compare more than flight time. Aircraft positioning, flight sectors and possible technical stops, medical staffing and equipment, ground ambulances at both ends and waiting arrangements affect the total. Ask for the currency, taxes, validity period and excluded services in writing. These details show whether two quotations for the same route actually cover comparable arrangements.
From enquiry to booking
Contact MEKJET 24/7 with the route, preferred date and number of companions. Following assessment, the written scope clarifies the flight, medical team and ground connections. MEKJET coordinates the written scope; the operator conducts the flight, while healthcare professionals assess medical suitability, staffing and equipment. Booking confirmation follows the signed agreement and payment. Final flight confirmation follows the required permissions and operational checks; booking confirmation does not guarantee a departure time. Availability can change. Inform the team of any change in the patient’s condition or travel date, and check amendment and refund terms in the agreement.
Practical planning questions
Is total transfer time the same as flight time?
No. Hospital discharge, ground ambulances, airport procedures, any technical stop and handover at the destination hospital also form part of the journey. Ask for an estimated hospital-to-hospital timeline as well as time in the air.
Can I enquire before the medical report is ready?
You can begin with the route, preferred date and hospital details. The appropriate transport method and medical support need to be assessed using an up-to-date report. An initial conversation does not confirm a flight before that review is complete.
Can the family arrange the ground ambulances?
Ground connections arranged by the family or hospital can be considered in the plan. Handover locations, team contacts and timing must be agreed with the flight team in advance. The written quotation should state whether these legs are excluded from the price.
Will insurance or an assistance company pay?
Coverage depends on the policy and the organisation’s approval. Confirm in writing which flight, medical team, ground ambulance and companion costs are authorised. Receiving a quotation is not an insurance payment commitment.
Can this page provide a fixed price?
No. Departure and destination points, assessed patient needs, dates and current availability must be reviewed together. A case-specific written quotation defines the total and service scope.
What if the patient’s condition or travel date changes?
Give the coordination team the updated information promptly. Medical assessment, equipment, hospital acceptance and flight planning may need review. Amendments and any applicable refund are assessed under the contract.
