Frequently asked questions
How fast can a HEMS helicopter respond?+
Aviation specialists respond as quickly as possible, subject to operator availability. Same-day departures are sometimes possible but always depend on the independent operator, permits, slots and weather.
Can you configure an ICU or ECMO cabin?+
Yes. SkyMatch operators fly with certified ICU stretchers, ventilators, incubators and ECMO-capable teams on AW139, AW169 and equivalent airframes.
Do you cover international patient repatriation?+
We combine HEMS legs with medical jets for door-to-door repatriation across Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East and beyond.
