Why this transfer goes by air

Delhi and Mumbai are both quaternary-care metros, so a Delhi-to-Mumbai air ambulance is usually about a specific, time-critical need – a bed, a procedure, or a specialist available in one city and not the other at that moment, or a patient too unstable for anything but a fast monitored transfer. We fly this corridor both ways.

What we move on this route

Ventilated and ICU patients on a transport ICU; cardiac and post-arrest cases; neuro, trauma and post-operative patients; and ECMO or neonatal transfers where the case calls for it. For a stable patient cleared as fit to fly, a RED doctor or nurse escorting them on a scheduled flight is often the right, cheaper answer.

Bed to bed, not tarmac to tarmac

A ground ambulance at both ends, both legs in one quote, and one coordinator from the first call to the admission – in Delhi or in Mumbai, whichever way the patient is moving.
