Medical flight by plane and on Elal flights

Medical flights on El Al are a service designed to ensure the safe and comfortable transfer of patients who require medical supervision during the flight. It includes advance coordination with the airline, preparation of appropriate medical equipment, and accompaniment by a qualified medical team throughout the flight, according to the patient's medical needs.

Of course. Each of our paramedics has undergone full training from MDA/a recognized institution, and is actively involved in the field of emergency medicine.

A trip medic is responsible for providing first aid to travelers in the event of injuries, sudden illnesses, or medical emergencies. He is equipped with advanced medical equipment and is skilled in treating conditions such as bruises, burns, allergic reactions, and dehydration.

No. The escort is provided by a paramedic, but does not replace medical staff in complex medical situations. It is suitable for seniors who are able to fly but need a helping hand and general support.

The medical evacuation service includes air evacuation accompanied by a medical team, customized emergency equipment, and comprehensive planning of the flight route according to the patient's needs. The service covers all stages of the process - from loading, through the flight, to arrival at the destination.

The service includes the professional presence of a certified paramedic equipped with advanced first aid kits, first aid in emergencies, and telephone guidance during the event.

The paramedic can assist in monitoring and accompanying the taking of medications according to the instructions given in advance. This is not a medical recommendation but rather support.

Yes, all of our paramedics are certified and have proven experience in field trips and responding to a variety of incidents. They work closely with a paramedic and a doctor, and are available for telephone consultation at any time.

A trip medic accompanies the group, provides basic first aid training, handles emergencies in the field, and helps prevent risks. He conveys peace of mind and allows participants to enjoy the trip in safety.

Absolutely. The service is tailored to any size – from intimate family events to mass events.

Medical transportation services include, among other things:

• Coordination with El Al and the airports at destination and origin

• Preparation and accompaniment of medical staff (doctor, paramedic or nurse)

• Supply of required medical equipment (oxygen cylinders, monitoring devices, medications, etc.)

• Treatment and adaptation of conditions to the patient's medical condition, including the possibility of an accompanying bed on the flight if necessary

Depending on the urgency of the medical need, flights can be arranged within a few hours to several days.

Yes, medical transport can be carried out on both a commercial flight and an ambulance plane, depending on the patient's condition. In situations where the patient's condition allows, a special seat can be arranged on a commercial flight. In particularly urgent extreme situations, an ambulance plane adapted to these needs is selected.

The service includes the presence of a trained paramedic, rapid coordination with emergency authorities if necessary, and professional treatment in emergency cases. All while adhering to high standards of safety and medical quality.

No. Every paramedic comes with full, advanced, and standard equipment – exactly the same as the equipment that every other paramedic brings.

Yes. We liaise with the airlines and ensure that all accommodations and requests (e.g. accessible seat, wheelchair transfer) are carried out as required.

It is recommended to coordinate medical evacuation service as soon as possible – usually at least a few days to weeks in advance, depending on the medical condition and logistical complexity. The earlier you coordinate, the better preparedness of the medical team and the airline can be ensured.

An ambulance plane is equipped with advanced medical equipment that allows for the provision of full medical care during the flight. A trained medical team is on board the plane at all times, ensuring that the patient receives professional and immediate care in any emergency that may arise during the flight.

The paramedics are equipped with advanced kits that include customized medical equipment, first aid kits, emergency medications, and more, in accordance with the Ministry of Education or Ministry of Health standards depending on the type of activity.

A jet ambulance is a private “flying intensive care unit”; commercial escort is suitable for relatively stable situations and saves up to 60% of the cost.

In many cases, medical escort is essential to ensure continuous medical supervision during the flight. The medical team (doctor, paramedic or specialist nurse) can respond to any changes in the patient's condition and provide immediate treatment if necessary. The decision on the nature of the escort is determined by the patient's condition and the doctors' recommendation.

Our team stays with the passenger, coordinating the changes and ensuring that the assistance continues as long as necessary – even while waiting. In cases of significant additional time, an additional fee may apply.

We do our best to respect the client's requirements. However, there are cases where medical contact is necessary. In such cases, we act sensitively, while maintaining the patient's privacy and in consultation with the event organizers.

The choice is made according to the patient's medical condition. In most cases, the flight can be carried out on a commercial flight with medical escort. In critical or complex situations, an ambulance plane will be preferred, which offers all the conditions required for emergency treatment.

Yes, we offer the option of combining basic training on first aid and dealing with emergency situations, to provide participants with important tools and enrich the learning experience.

Medical flights on El Al are carried out with a long-standing and reliable company, with an advanced fleet of aircraft and well-organized infrastructure in Israel and around the world. When combined with a professional medical team, a safe and effective solution is obtained for transporting patients with special medical needs, while minimizing risk and providing immediate response throughout the flight.

In most cases, it is possible to arrange for at least one family member to accompany the patient, either on a commercial flight or in an ambulance, depending on the conditions and available space. This allows for close companionship and peace of mind for both the patient and their family.

Before the flight, all required medical documents must be prepared and the patient must undergo all necessary tests to assess their condition. The Paramedicly team will assist with the preparations and ensure that the patient receives all instructions for safe flying.

Coordination is usually done through an initial conversation with a Paramedic service representative, who gathers information about the patient's medical condition and needs. The company's doctor then contacts the patient or their family and understands the situation. Next, the medical team reviews the documents, contacts El Al to check availability, handles the logistical details, and ensures that all medical equipment and permits are ready before the flight.
