FAQ
Can helicopters do international flights?
For range >300km we usually combine helicopter (pickup) + jet (long-range). SkyMatch coordinates both with seamless patient handover.
Do you accept patients on ventilators?
Yes — every SkyMatch medevac aircraft is ICU-equipped with ventilator, multi-channel monitoring, and critical care doctor.
How is payment handled?
Direct insurance billing where possible. Credit card or wire for self-pay. Emergency deposit then balance after.
