Whether traveling with a flight nurse escort on a commercial airline, or a private chartered aircraft, we will customize your travel plans to meet your medical needs. Medical escort services offer a cost effective alternative to air ambulance services for the medically stable patient.

We provide a flight nurse escort to accompany the more acutely ill or injured patient traveling on a commercial airline or on a private aircraft. Flying Nurses International assists with all phases of travel, starting from home, a hotel, a cruise ship or hospital bed, until you reach your final destination. Flight nurses can be your peace of mind during a difficult time.
Our scope of care includes: assisting patients with restricted ambulation, orthopedic injuries, behavioral health disorders, neurological injuries, and those who require supplemental oxygen and complex respiratory needs. Many of our patients require full assist transfers from bed , to chair, to aircraft seat. I.V. fluids, medications, and oxygen therapy can be administered en route. Flying Nurses International has over 40 critical care and emergency medicine registered flight nurses with specialized training in aviation physiology, airline logistics and aircraft safety. Our flight nurses travel worldwide, many are bilingual, and are based in a large number of states including Hawaii and Alaska.

Testimonials
I recently spent 20 days in the hospital after some combined illnesses. The doctor released me to go home to Raleigh NC with a nurse escort. Eric arrived at the hospital early on my day of departure and happened upon me and my wife Lois as we were taking a walk on the hospital floor. He was astute in that he recognized us when I used my wife’s name, Lois! He spent the day talking to my nurses, examining my records, ensuring my meds were correct and available. He observed the removal of my PICC line and the installation of a line on my wrist. He became thoughorly knowledgeable of my condition. We left the hospital to go to the airport and immediately had a problem; the cab did not show up. Eric made the proper calls and we were on our way only 15 minutes behind. After having three weeks of continued strain, my wife just could not have dealt with this very easily. Eric assisted me in boarding, checked the oxygen, determined where the emergency equipment was, checked my vitals and gave me the proper meds. The flight was uneventful. Eric was attentive, checking my vitals and assisting me to the rest room several times. This was a task in itself as I am large and was somewhat unsteady. Eric made a large difference in my ability to travel home, please convey my thanks to Eric for his care and attention.
Sincerely,
C. Koeth, Holly Springs North Carolina C. Koeth / , NC I sincerely owe you and your organization a debt of gratitude at the very least. Both Randy and I were so completely impressed with your sincerity and dedication. These days it is rare to find a business that can actually exceed a client's expectations. No amount of money could have bought the compassion, dedication and attention our family was given during our crisis. You are a tribute to what nursing and healthcare should be, God bless you and the nurses that are willing to 'be on the next flight' to help a family in crisis.
Sincerely,
Victoria Stickney, Phoenix, AZ Victoria Stickney / , AZ
