Business class repatriation involves transporting a patient back to their home country using a business class seat on a commercial airline. This option provides a higher level of comfort and privacy for the patient, allowing more space to relax and move around during the flight.
A Business class repatriation is undertaken with a dedicated medical escort to accompany the patient ensuring their needs are met. Special equipment such as hoists and torso harnesses can be used to facilitate transferring from a wheelchair into the seat and remaining upright for takeoff and landing.
Commercial stretcher repatriation involves transporting a patient back to their home country on a commercial airline on a stretcher installed in the economy passenger cabin, a curtain is installed to ensure privacy. The patient is transferred to the airplane by ambulance and will board and disembark the plane on a stretcher.
This option is ideal for patients who require medical assistance during the flight and are unable to sit in a regular seat. Commercial stretcher repatriation requires the presence of 2 clinical staff to provide care and support to the patient during the journey.
