Have a Emergency Plan When You Travel!
July 23rd, 2010 Filed Under Air Ambulance, Air Ambulance Medflight Services, Aviation, Emergency plans when you travel, Luxury travel
With over thirty years in the aviation business, I know many people who traveled to remote places in the world who ended up in emergency situations. Unfortunately, people become ill or may get seriously injured in an accident while traveling only to find them self stuck in a country with poor medical treatment. They may find that they are too ill to be allowed to board an airliner or require a stretcher or other medical equipment to be transferred that is not allowed with the airlines. The panic calls I have received from family members, business associates and loved ones in this situation reminds me why everyone should plan ahead when traveling, especially to remote third-world nations! Simply have an emergency plan to get home in the event of becoming ill, having an accident or even if something as terrible as a terrorist attack or major earthquake occurs. You might have airlined in to your destination, but what happens if an airline shuts down service or you become so ill that you need to get home via an air ambulance service? Who would you contact? Does your family know where you are? Do you have insurance that covers air ambulance service? Do you know a reputable company that could provide air charter to a major airport that would have airline service to get you home? These are just some of the questions to have answered before you leave for your next vacation or business trip!
I recommend calling us at 1-877-303-6660 at the Global Jet Net as for a small fee we will provide you with the research and emergency plan you need. In addition, if you have to activate your emergency plan, you will have us at your side helping you or your loved one get home, whether its a medical emergency or evacuation. Volcano’s, Earthquakes, Tsunami’s and the uncertain world should not stop you from traveling, but planning ahead with an emergency plan might just be the best thing you pack for your next trip!

Air Ambulance – MedFlight Services May Save Your Life
June 7th, 2010 Filed Under Air Ambulance Medflight Services, Why Arrange for Air Ambulance Services?
Air Ambulance and Medflight services can save lives, and they do every single day for a variety of travelers facing a wide variety of circumstances. It has been speculated that the beautiful and talented actress, Natasha Richardson, may have survived her horrific skiing accident and resulting brain injury if she had been transported more quickly by air ambulance to receive more rapid medical attention. If you are planning a trip and want to proactively inquire about air ambulance medflight services, contact Hollywood Jets. Hollywood Jets offers full service travel concierge and private jet charter broker services. We can discuss air ambulance options for your medical needs and give you peace of mind for your next trip.
We may equate medical evacuation with the military but med-evac services can save the life of ordinary citizens faced with extraordinary circumstances. Whether you are injured while rappelling down a mountain or experience chest pain while strolling through a museum, an air ambulance can save your life when traveling abroad.
Stan and Jenny were spending their two week vacation in Costa Rica. They were staying at a friend’s home and using his jeep while there. While navigating the twisting roads, Stan hit a rock and the jeep flipped over. Jenny escaped with minor cuts and bruises but Stan needed to be hospitalized. Both wanted to go home immediately but Stan could not travel on a commercial air flight. Not knowing what else to do they remained in Costa Rica for 4 weeks until Stan was well enough to fly home.
It’s hard enough to experience illness or injury at home but being in need of medical services while traveling in a foreign country can be disconcerting. You are away from the support of family and friends and the familiarity of your health system. A little advance planning can help you prepare if you need emergency medical care while traveling abroad.
We often see med-evac teams traveling by helicopter. However, the mode of transport may be ground, air escort, jet or even a Cessna. The staffing, medical equipment and mode are all dependent on your medical condition and needs. The air ambulance company can suggest several medically appropriate alternatives to meet your needs.
An air ambulance service can safely transport you from a hospital abroad to a hospital in your town. Your medical support team coordinates bedside to bedside service ensuring your safe transport back home. The medical team can also provide medical assistance while traveling.
If you are injured or hospitalized while you are traveling abroad, you or a family member can call the air ambulance service directly to arrange transport home. Having their number with you will facilitate this process. The air ambulance company can manage the communication between the hospital facilities, physicians, insurance company, airports and your family.
When planning your travel abroad, include the number of an air ambulance company in your emergency contacts. If you are injured or become ill while on vacation, air ambulance teams can safely and quickly arrange to transport you back home.
