Medical or surgical treatment is required in cases where time is of the essence, such as stroke, trauma, and heart attacks.

The term "air ambulance services" describes a subset of the medical transportation industry that makes use of aircraft. The purpose of these services is to transfer seriously wounded or sick people from one place to another in a timely and secure manner.

Air ambulances are outfitted with specialized medical gear that is necessary for the monitoring and treatment of seriously injured or sick patients. This gear includes electrocardiograms (ECGs), drugs, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) devices, ventilators, stretchers, and more. In situations of respiratory diseases, strokes, heart attacks, complications during pregnancy, traumatic injuries, end-of-life care, neurological disorders, and other medical crises, these services are typically recommended for transporting patients to bigger distances and unsuitable terrains. The global market is projected to experience growth from 2024 to 2031, driven by the increasing demand for helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS).

Due to the lack of commercial flight options for medical repatriation, several air ambulance providers experienced a substantial increase in workload during the COVID-19 lockdowns that occurred during the previous two years. For example, as per an article in the International Travel & Health Insurance Journal (ITIJ), the medevac planes of Swiss Air-Rescue (Rega) racked up an unprecedented amount of flying time in the first half of 2020 due to a boom in long-range missions. In times of medical emergency, the people of Switzerland and Liechtenstein can rely on the private, non-profit Swiss Air-Rescue.

Demand for air ambulance services has been on the rise due to factors such as the prevalence of medical emergencies, the aging population, and the increasing number of accidents around the world.
