Working With Your Travel Insurer or Assistance Company
Most medical repatriations to Scotland start with a call from a travel insurer or an assistance company, not the family. If your loved one is in hospital abroad, their insurer or assistance company is often the first to reach out to REVA to arrange the flight home.
REVA works directly with insurers and assistance companies as part of the IAG network, so claims and approvals move faster and your family doesn't have to manage the logistics alone. If you already have a case open with your insurer or assistance company, let us know and we'll coordinate directly with them on your behalf.
When Do You Need An Air Ambulance?
Emergency Helicopter Services vs. International Air Ambulance Repatriation
Not every medical flight serves the same purpose. In Scotland, emergency air ambulance services and private repatriation providers play very different roles.
- The Scottish Ambulance Service & SCAA: Respond to emergencies within Scotland, including trauma, urgent transfers, and remote rescues across the Highlands and Islands.
- Private Repatriation (REVA): Flies patients back to Scotland from abroad with the medical team, equipment, and ICU-level support needed for safe long-distance transport.
Emergency air ambulances are for urgent medical crises within Scotland. Private international repatriation is for patients who need to return home safely from another country.
