When patients need specialized care abroad or must return home safely, MTI 24/7 supports hospital discharge teams with seamless medical air transport. We provide air ambulances, medical escorts, and bed-to-bed coordination worldwide, ensuring a safe, timely, and clinically supervised transfer.
Why is air transport important in hospital discharge planning?
International or long-distance discharges often involve medical clearance, insurance coordination, and logistical complexity. Our team streamlines every stage, from documentation to bedside handover, allowing discharge planners to focus on patient care.
What is medical air transport, and when is it needed?
Medical air transport refers to the transfer of patients by specially equipped aircraft, staffed with medical professionals. At MTI 24/7, we provide two types of medical air transport:
Air ambulance flights: For critically ill or injured patients requiring intensive monitoring or life-support equipment
Medical escort on commercial flights: A cost-effective solution for stable patients who need medical supervision during travel
How does MTI 24/7 support hospital discharge teams?
We believe that effective collaboration between hospital teams and our operations center is the foundation of successful patient transfers. Our partnership model is built on transparency, clinical expertise, and reliability.
Here’s how we typically work with discharge planners:
Case assessment: We review the patient’s medical summary to recommend the right aircraft and medical team.
Quotation: A detailed cost estimate is provided during a free consultation.
Flight coordination: We manage all logistics: aircraft prep, medical clearance, airport handling, and ground transport.
Real-time communication: Stay informed from takeoff to arrival with direct access to our dispatch and medical staff.
How do hospital and transport teams communicate during the process?
Clear communication is essential in every transfer. Our operations team works closely with hospital case managers, treating physicians, and nursing staff to ensure the patient’s needs are understood and documented. Our team is available by phone, email, or via our contact form for swift case discussions
Is medical air transport cost-effective for hospitals and patients?
While medical flights involve specialized resources, MTI 24/7’s global network allows us to offer competitive and transparent pricing. Because we operate internationally, we can position aircraft efficiently, reducing standby and positioning costs.
Cost-effectiveness comes from:
Access to regional aircraft fleets around the world
Medical escort options for stable patients who don’t require a full air ambulance
Optimized routing and coordination with insurance providers
Minimized hospital stays, reducing inpatient costs while maintaining care quality
