Intro: Turkey welcomes millions of international visitors annually, drawn by its breathtaking coastlines, historic landmarks, and renowned medical facilities offering cutting-edge treatments at competitive costs. Yet medical emergencies there present an unexpected challenge; one that demands swift, professional intervention. Whether you are a tourist facing a health crisis or a Turkish resident requiring specialized care across borders, MTI 24/7’s comprehensive air ambulance and medical escort services ensure both international travelers and Turkish nationals receive seamless, compassionate care during their most vulnerable moments.
Turkey's popularity for tourism and medical procedures
Turkey attracts over 50 million international visitors annually and has emerged as a premier medical tourism destination. Patients worldwide choose Turkey for world-class healthcare at 40-70% lower costs than Western Europe or North America, combined with minimal wait times and internationally accredited hospitals staffed by highly trained physicians.
Why patients choose Turkey for medical care
Turkish medical facilities offer specialized treatments across multiple disciplines with cutting-edge technology and surgeons trained at world-renowned institutions. The cost advantage, paired with excellent safety standards and personalized care, makes Turkey an attractive healthcare destination:
Eye surgery: LASIK, cataract removal, retinal surgery.
Bariatric surgery: Gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy.
Oncology: Cancer treatment and surgical interventions.
Dental treatments: Implants, crowns, smile makeovers.
Fertility medicine: IVF, egg freezing, reproductive procedures.
Orthopedic surgery: Hip and knee replacements, spinal procedures.
Cosmetic and aesthetic surgery: Facelift, rhinoplasty, hair transplantation.
Cardiac care: Bypass surgery, valve replacements, interventional cardiology.
Despite exceptional healthcare quality, unexpected medical complications can occur during or after procedures. Tourists undergoing elective surgeries may face emergencies requiring repatriation to their home country’s healthcare systems. Similarly, when subspecialized expertise is unavailable domestically, Turkish residents seeking specialized care abroad require medical transport.
This is where MTI 24/7's air ambulance and medical escort services become essential, providing professional medical transport that safely connects patients across Turkey's borders to world-class healthcare facilities worldwide.
Our services: International medical evacuation & medical repatriation
When unexpected health crises strike, swift access to appropriate medical care becomes life-saving. Whether you are a tourist facing complications during medical tourism, an expat requiring specialized treatment, or a Turkish resident needing care across borders, our medical evacuation and repatriation services provide the professional infrastructure to connect you safely with world-class healthcare facilities.
What is medical evacuation and when is it needed?
Medical evacuation is the safe transport of locals across borders to access specialized treatment unavailable locally. Medevac becomes essential when Turkish patients require specialist care, intensive treatment, or swift transfer to hospitals with advanced facilities.
Common scenarios include:
Need for rare disease management or advanced cancer therapy.
Severe trauma or injury requiring specialized surgical intervention.
Post-operative complications requiring different medical expertise.
Respiratory failure or cardiac complications requiring ICU-level care.
Patients in remote locations requiring transport to major medical hubs.
What is medical repatriation and when is it needed?
International medical repatriation is the coordinated transfer of patients from Turkey back to their home country for continued medical treatment under professional supervision. Medical repatriation becomes necessary in several situations:
Cases where local medical standards raise patient concerns.
Language barriers affecting quality of care and communication.
Family support requirements for optimal psychological recovery.
Tourists requiring return home following surgery or medical complications.
Need for specialized equipment or treatment unavailable in current location.
Patients desiring continued treatment with established home country physicians.
Post-operative complications or unexpected illness during medical tourism necessitate swift repatriation coordinated through MTI 24/7's global medical network.
What are your patient transport options to and from Turkey?
When medical emergencies strike in Turkey or specialized healthcare requires international transfer, swift access to professional medical transport becomes essential. MTI 24/7 provides comprehensive medical transport solutions connecting patients safely from Turkey to modern healthcare facilities worldwide, ensuring medically appropriate care regardless of patient condition or distance.
Air ambulance services in Turkey
Fully equipped with ICU-level medical devices, Air ambulance transport becomes essential for medical emergencies requiring hospital-to-hospital transfers. Post-operative complications demanding specialist intervention, patients with conditions incompatible with commercial airline pressurization or time-critical cases where ground transport delays compromise outcomes are some of the situations where we recommend our medical jets to, from and within Turkey.
Domestic air ambulance services in Turkey
We provide domestic air ambulance flights connecting Turkey's three major medical hubs, enabling efficient transfers between medical facilities when local resources prove insufficient:
Istanbul (Istanbul Airport IST, Sabiha Gökçen SAW): MTI 24/7 coordinates domestic transfers from Istanbul to Ankara or Antalya for trauma patients requiring neurosurgery, cardiac interventions, or advanced pediatric intensive care. Istanbul's modern hospitals and internationally accredited surgical centers serve as a destination hub for domestic transfers from provincial cities.
Ankara (Esenboğa International Airport ESB): Secondary medical hub with government medical centers. MTI 24/7 arranges domestic flights connecting Ankara to Istanbul for cases exceeding local surgical capacity, and to Antalya for patients requiring coastal rehabilitation facilities.
Antalya (Antalya Airport AYT): Mediterranean gateway providing access to Turkey's coastal region and major tourist destinations. MTI 24/7 manages domestic evacuations from Antalya bringing critically ill patients to Istanbul or Ankara when local medical facilities cannot provide required specialized care, and serves as a receiving location for post-operative recovery and rehabilitation.
International air ambulance services in Turkey
Our teams also arrange international medical evacuations and repatriations connecting Turkish residents and foreign visitors to world-class healthcare facilities across Europe, North America, and the Middle East:
Middle East: Dubai and Abu Dhabi regional medical hubs.

Commercial medical escorts
Commercial medical escorts provide professional medical supervision on scheduled commercial flights, offering a cost-effective alternative to air ambulance services for medically stable patients requiring professional oversight during travel.
What is a commercial medical escort?
A commercial medical escort is a qualified healthcare professional who accompanies a patient on regular airline flights, providing continuous monitoring, medication administration, and emergency intervention. At MTI 24/7, our aviation-trained medical escorts travel alongside patients in standard seating, either business class or economy with in-flight stretchers, enabling safe, affordable medical transport.
When medical escorts are needed
Our medical escort service suits patients who are medically stable but require professional supervision: post-operative recovery patients, elderly travelers, individuals with chronic conditions (diabetes, heart disease, hypertension), pregnant women in second/early third trimester, or patients with non-acute injuries.
Cost-effective solution
Commercial medical escorts provide significantly lower costs than dedicated air ambulances by utilizing scheduled commercial flights instead of private aircraft charter. This approach eliminates aircraft charter expenses while maintaining professional medical standards, making specialized medical transport financially accessible to more patients.
MTI 24/7's commercial medical escorts enable affordable, safe patient transport from Turkey to world-renowned facilities, ensuring continuous professional medical care throughout your journey.
What factors affect medical transport costs?
Medical transport pricing varies based on individual patient circumstances and transport requirements. MTI 24/7 provides customized quotes for every mission, ensuring you pay only for services truly needed rather than unnecessary add-ons. Our transparent pricing approach eliminates surprises, with detailed cost breakdowns provided before any commitment:
Distance and route complexity: Flight distance, number of stops, and routing requirements influence overall expenses. Domestic transfers within Turkey, international flights to neighboring countries, and transatlantic repatriation each involve different logistical considerations.
Transport type selection: Choosing between commercial medical escort and dedicated air ambulance depends on medical necessity rather than cost alone. Each option serves different patient conditions and transport requirements.
Medical escort professional level: Flight nurse, paramedic, or physician accompaniment is determined by patient medical complexity and transport duration, ensuring appropriate clinical expertise matches patient needs.
Aircraft and equipment requirements: Medical equipment specifications, cabin configurations, stretcher options, and oxygen systems are selected based on patient condition and clinical necessity rather than cost optimization.
Ground ambulance coordination: Transportation from origin facility to airport and from destination airport to receiving hospital is coordinated based on patient mobility and medical requirements.
Seating configuration: Business class, economy seating, and stretcher arrangements are selected according to patient medical status and comfort needs during transit.
MTI 24/7 conducts thorough medical assessments to determine genuinely necessary services, eliminating unnecessary expenses. We provide free, non-binding quotes detailing all components before you commit, enabling informed decision-making about your medical transport options.
