Ambulance flights – When every minute counts
Behind the scenes at Global Aviation, something special happens every day. Most of the time it’s about business trips, vacations, or luxury destinations, but sometimes a call comes in that brings everything to a halt. Just like last week.
No time to lose
Late in the afternoon, the phone rang. On the other end was a concerned family—a loved one was in a hospital in Greece and urgently needed to be brought to the Netherlands for surgery. There was no time to lose. We sprang into action immediately: requesting medical records, coordinating with our medical team, checking the availability of an air ambulance, and contacting local ambulance partners.
Within a few hours, everything was arranged. The next morning, our air ambulance was ready, fully equipped with a medical team and all necessary equipment on board. The patient was transported by ground ambulance to the airport, carefully assisted by local emergency services. Upon arrival in the Netherlands, another ambulance was waiting to safely transfer them to the hospital.
It’s our job, but…
We often say it: yes, it’s our job. But assignments like this… they touch us. It is incredibly rewarding to truly make a difference in a moment like this.
Afterward, we received this message from the family:
We are so grateful for your service! Compliments to everyone who made it possible for him to get home as quickly as possible. We are relieved and happy to be home again. He is in good hands. Thank you so much for your service and quick action—where would we be without organizations like yours!”
Words like these mean a lot to us. They make clear why we do what we do. Ultimately, it’s not just about speed and efficiency, but about people. About family. About coming home.
