Critical Care and Non-Emergent Transport and Repatriation
Critical Care
Phoenix Air Medical is your trusted partner for long-distance aeromedical evacuation, expertly transporting critically ill patients with complex needs from medical and respiratory support to trauma and neurosurgical care. Our highly trained teams are equipped with the latest medical technology, ensuring that even the most fragile or unstable patients can be safely transported from remote locations, including those with limited medical resources.
Non-Emergent Transport and Repatriation
Phoenix Air Medical also provides non-emergent patient transport to home or medical centers for ongoing care. Our fleet of Gulfstream and Learjets offer safe, comfortable, and efficient long-distance travel for stable patients requiring medical supervision. During flights, patients are monitored by trained medical crews and supported by state-of-the-art equipment. Phoenix Air ensures safe, accredited care, and accommodation of specialized medical needs, ensuring a smooth transition to the next phase of care.
Versatile Aircraft Interiors
The 81-inch-wide-cargo-door of the Gulfstream jets provide easy access to the aircraft interior which has multiple configuration possibilities. With a cabin measuring 37 feet long, 6.5 feet wide and 6 feet high, along with a completely customizable floor plan, multiple options are available for a wide variety of patient transport requirements.
-
Multi-patient transports: up to 5 stretcher patients can be accommodated with seating for medical staff and family
-
A VIP interior for 1 or 2 patients with adequate seating for additional family/medical staff and the option for an FAA-trained cabin attendant
-
Bariatric patients can be safely loaded via the cargo door and secured for transport. Extra cabin room allows for attention and care to their special needs
-
The oversized cabin allows for oversized medical equipment to be safely secured in close proximity to the patient, providing unrestricted patient access. Examples of previously transported equipment include ECMO units, LVAD devices and Berlin Heart units, along with the additional personnel required
High Consequence Infectious Diseases (HCID) Transport
As the recognized international leader in High Consequence Infectious Diseases (HCID) transport, we utilize a specialized isolation unit, the Aeromedical Biological Containment System (ABCS), that offers full body access and replicates the features of a hospital’s negative pressure, two-room isolation system. This advanced design enables ICU-level monitoring and allows for the safe performance of invasive procedures while maintaining strict infection control protocols. Developed in 2008 as a collaborative effort between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Defense (DoD), and Phoenix Air Group, Inc. Our ABCS has been rigorously tested and approved by both the CDC and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the safe transport of HCID patients. Its effectiveness was demonstrated during the 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak, when Phoenix Air successfully transported 41 Ebola patients under the highest standards of care and safety. With this proven design, even the most complex high consequence infectious disease cases can be managed with the utmost precision and care, safeguarding the patient, medical personnel, and the community during every step of the journey.
