“They are kind, prompt and provide a great quality of service.”

My job over the last 15 years (as a safety supervisor and expedition paramedic for Shark Week) demands that I have a professional emergency evacuation plan should there be a sentinel event or shark attack during a production. REVA has been a pivotal part of my overall pre-planning for an emergency when filming in the Caribbean and beyond. Their team is nothing less than top shelf. I have been a mobile intensive care paramedic and flight paramedic for over 25 years and I know professionalism when I see it. REVA's team exudes professionalism and competence in my humble opinion. REVA will always be my first and only choice for air medical evacuation, without hesitation.

Great service bringing my wife from Guatemala to the Mayo Clinic. Sylvie Beacleay and Mat took care of us in a very professional way. The Logistics in Guatemala was very smooth with the help of MecCoo’s J.H.. Thank you all

International Medical Repatriation vs. UK Charity Air Ambulances

It is important to understand the difference between UK-based emergency air ambulance services and private international medical repatriation.

While both utilize aircraft to move patients, they operate in different spheres of healthcare: one is a vital branch of the UK’s emergency services (funded by charity), and the other is a specialized logistics service for global transit (funded by insurance or private means).

Feature	UK Charity Air Ambulance	International Medical Repatriation
Primary Goal	Life-saving emergency response.	Bringing a patient home to the UK.
Funding	Charitable donations (public).	Travel insurance or private payment.
Geography	Local/Regional (within the UK).	International (Worldwide to UK).
Aircraft Type	Mainly Helicopters (Rotary).	Private Jets (Fixed-wing) or Commercial.
Access	Via 999 emergency services.	Via insurance providers or private firms.
