Air ambulance cost
An air ambulance costs much more than a road ambulance. The cost depends on the route, the support the patient needs on board and the ground ambulances at both ends. We tell you the full cost before you agree.
Ask any provider for the full cost in one figure, including the ground ambulance to and from the airports.
What the cost depends on
- The route and distance of the flight
- The support the patient needs on board
- Ground ambulance to and from the airports
- Fare told on the call, before dispatch
- Waiting time and extra stops included in the quote
- No change after the trip
Who does what
The aircraft and the flight are provided by an aviation operator. We arrange the transfer for you on one hotline and run the ground ambulance to and from the airport. The dispatcher tells you which operator flies the patient, and what support is on board, before you agree.
Ask before you agree to any air ambulance
- Who operates the aircraft?
- Has the treating doctor agreed the patient is fit to fly?
- What support is on board, and who travels with the patient?
- Is the ground ambulance at both ends included?
- Is the full cost told in one figure before you agree?
Ask us any of these on the call. We will answer plainly.

What families say
What is an air ambulance?
An air ambulance is an aircraft set up to carry a patient who needs care during a flight, used when the distance is too long or the road journey too hard for the patient. In Bangladesh, an air ambulance transfer is arranged with an aviation operator, with a road ambulance to and from each airport.
When families ask about one
- The road journey is too long for the patient
- The patient needs treatment in another city
- The treating doctor advises a transfer by air
The treating doctor decides whether the patient is fit to fly. We arrange the transfer around what the doctor advises.
Air ambulance or road ambulance?
Both can move a patient a long way. They differ in time on the move, in planning and in cost.
| Compare | Air ambulance | Road ambulance (inter-district) |
|---|---|---|
| Suited to | Very long distances, or when the doctor advises against a long road trip | Most journeys between Dhaka and the districts |
| Planning | Needs the operator, the airports and the doctor to agree first | Planned on the call with the dispatcher |
| Cost level | Much higher | Lower |
