REVA’s Track Record
Types of International Medical Flights Available with REVA
REVA offers several international medical transport options, including fully equipped air ambulances, medical repatriation, and medical escort services.
Air Ambulance
Both domestic and international air ambulance services use specially equipped aircraft to transport patients quickly and safely across borders. REVA manages every detail—from the medical assessment and ground transportation to customs coordination and in-flight care—ensuring a seamless transfer from bedside pickup to arrival at the destination.
Medical Repatriation
Medical repatriation is used when a patient needs to return to their home country or a preferred medical facility for continued treatment. REVA coordinates every part of the journey—including medical assessment, transportation, and in-flight care—to ensure a safe, comfortable transfer back to familiar surroundings and appropriate medical support.
Medical Escort
Medical escort services are suited for patients who need medical support during commercial travel but don’t require a full air ambulance. REVA arranges all flights and ground transportation, while a trained flight nurse provides continuous monitoring, wheelchair assistance, and in-flight care throughout the journey.
Our Highly Trained & Experienced In-Flight Aviation Teams
Veteran Pilots
Our pilots must pass a demanding selection process and training program before they can fly for us. All pilots are highly experienced with diverse backgrounds, including medical, military and commercial aviation.
Experience in the Air
Our pilots have amassed more than 200,000 combined flight hours of experience. Before every medical flight, pilots participate in a risk- assessment analysis in order to be prepared for potential challenges that may arise.
Rigorous Training
Our pilots are required to follow a training regimen that exceeds Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards. Countless hours a month are set aside for training that includes textbooks, electronic educational materials, FAA updates and hands-on simulator practice.
On-Board Medical Professionals on Every International Air Ambulance Flight
Specialized Medical Teams for Every Level of Care
We match each flight with medical staff who specialize in the patient’s specific needs, from critical-care nurses to paramedics and respiratory therapists. This ensures the right expertise is always on board.
Continuous Monitoring and Treatment In the Air
Throughout the flight, our medical crew provides ongoing monitoring and intervention using advanced, ICU-level equipment. Patients receive uninterrupted care designed to keep them stable and comfortable.
Seamless Coordination With Sending and Receiving Facilities
REVA’s team communicates directly with both the originating and destination medical facilities to ensure a smooth clinical handoff. All medical details, updates, and requirements are aligned before the patient arrives.
Our Global Coverage
REVA's reach is worldwide. Our 16 dedicated fixed-wing aircraft, four bases of operation and global alliance program enable us to provide convenient departure points to even the most distant locations. Our expert management team can quickly coordinate a safe, reliable patient transfer to any country.
European Air Ambulance
We provide extensive international medical care flight services that cover all 44 European countries. With one base in Ireland and several global alliance partners throughout the region, REVA is among the top providers for medical flight transport within Europe and from Europe to the United States.
Air Ambulance in South America
REVA's extensive global alliance network enables our 16 dedicated aircraft to cover the entire South American region using over a dozen strategic hubs for fast response and transportation times. We provide emergency international medical flights to all 12 South American countries for immediate evacuation.
Air Ambulance Central America
Car flights frequently serve Central America due to its many isolated and rural areas. At REVA, we have logged missions to all seven Central American countries, from Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. Our fleet of 16 aircraft can transport patients in Central America who require immediate medical evacuation to the nearest equipped facility — which could include flights to a U.S. facility with specialized equipment or medical professionals who can provide treatment.
Air Ambulance in the Caribbean
At REVA, we're well-equipped to handle medical transport throughout North America. Whether you break your leg on a Canadian ski trip or get sick on vacation in Mexico, we understand the importance of getting back home fast and safely. We can even ensure access to air ambulance services from the Caribbean to the U.S. in case of emergency during a trip abroad.
African Air Ambulance
When a local doctor cannot provide appropriate care, an air ambulance will transfer the patient to another African facility or a hospital in the U.S. capable of providing adequate treatment for the injury or illness. We have medical teams ready to cover evacuation and repatriation services to all 48 African countries. REVA can offer each patient quicker responses and transportation times with several global alliance hubs throughout the African region.
