The state of California is known for its spectacular hospitals and research facilities. AirCARE1 frequently transports patients to and from the Golden State to these locations for time savings, enhanced comfort and safety.

Whether you or someone you know requires air transport service in or around California, we help individuals stay comfortable and stable en route to their destination. Accessing specialized care both in the U.S. and abroad is simple. Our team focuses on non-emergency situations and is available 24/7/365 to help you reach necessary medical facilities.

Understanding Our Medical Transport Services in California

At AirCARE1, we differentiate ourselves with a founder who served as a critical care and flight nurse. Since the beginning, our team has been dedicated to improving the industry’s practices to reach higher standards. We offer the most premium care and service possible to both patients and any family members traveling with them.

We know how coordinating air transport services can be stressful. That is why we simplified the process for patients and families in California with step-by-step assistance for booking an air transport pickup and drop-off:

  1. Reach out to our experts via quote form or phone.
  2. We provide you with a pricing quote after hearing more about your personalized requests.
  3. You and a team member from AirCARE1 discuss travel arrangements and other in-flight medical needs.
  4. We solidify all travel plans and complete the booking process.
  5. You or a loved one awaits a Learjet from AirCARE1 on the day of the air transport.
  6. AirCARE1 completes the patient pickup process and flies to the next destination in California or overseas.

Safety Is Our Priority

AirCARE1 is fully committed to safety and meets this commitment in several ways:

  • Aircraft ownership: AirCARE1 has made a point to both own and operate all of the aircraft we use for patient transport. This ownership means we don’t have to rely on another company to maintain our equipment and keep it in top shape. In addition, we fly under our own 135 Air Carrier Certificate and pride ourselves on our excellent safety rating.
  • High-quality aircraft: The line of Learjets we use are renowned for their safety and reliability. They are capable of reaching cruising speeds of 500 mph, and altitudes of over 40,000 feet, which allows our pilots to keep the ride smooth through different weather conditions. We can make sure our patients have the best possible experience.
  • Nonstop travel: Our Learjets use fuel economically to reach most destinations in the United States in a single flight. This fuel capacity and efficiency reduces the safety risks to our patients that come from frequent stops.
  • Experienced pilots: When any AirCARE1 flight leaves the ground, it is flown by a team of two pilots certified in airline transport. Our team of pilots is experienced, professional and trained at the most prestigious flight schools. Our pilots are also familiar with flying in the wide range of topography the state of California is known for.
  • Professional mechanics: Our Learjets are serviced by top mechanics in the industry who put each aircraft through a rigorous inspection process. These professionals specialize in our Learjets and keep them in pristine flying condition.

Aside from hiring top talent, AirCARE1 organizes ongoing safety training to meet the highest standards across California.

Our Accreditations and Certifications

We are one of the few air transport companies accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS). AirCARE1 is also a certified woman-owned small business, a member of Goldman Sachs’ top 10,000 small businesses and a member of the NBAA.

Rest assured that your loved one will be safe and cared for in the highest manner.

Holistic Care Sets Us Apart in California

One aspect that makes AirCARE1 unique is our passion for holistic care. We feel medical transport services in California should go above and beyond for every patient’s needs. As a result, patients can request additional resources, including noise-canceling headphones, aromatherapy and hand massages during the trip. Whether someone is heading to a routine checkup in California or going into surgery at the destination, we do our part to calm nerves and lift spirits.

We consider the one-of-a-kind requests of patients and families before takeoff. Should something be helpful to the patient in your family, please let us know, and we will see what we can do for them.

Meeting the Needs of All California Patients

The need for medical transport applies to all kinds of people. AirCARE1 stands ready to meet those unique needs:

  • Neonatal: For infants and NICU patients, AirCARE1 staffs level 3 certified NICU nurses and a sophisticated suite of equipment to be sure that these delicate patients arrive safely. With our neonatal physicians and our high-quality monitoring and incubation equipment, we meet the needs of even the most vulnerable infants.
  • Pediatric: Our staff knows that pediatric patients have special needs that require extra training and attention. The medical team that works with our pediatric patients is thoroughly instructed in the growth and development of children, and in alleviating any stranger anxiety.
  • Adult: Adult patients benefit from our highly trained staff and state-of-the-art service. Medical and flight staff are trained and selected to meet each patient’s individual needs.
  • Geriatric: When a geriatric patient requires transportation, the medical staff who supports them must be trained in the challenges these patients often face. AirCARE1 caters to skin integrity issues, cardiorespiratory sensitivities and dehydration, among other conditions. Leave geriatric patients in trustworthy hands as we monitor them in flight.
  • Bariatric: Our Learjets are specially equipped with wide entry doors and transportation equipment designed to help transport bariatric patients. Also, our staff has been trained in the problems these patients face with nitrogen exchange during a change in flight pressure. We help manage a patient’s specific oxygen needs.

Top of the Line Medical Equipment

The professionals at AirCARE1 have an exclusive transport and care system called the LifePort Patient Care system. This innovative system keeps patients comfortable, safe and secure throughout the transportation process and allows us to minimize the times the patient needs to be moved.

In addition, we carry the best available monitoring and infusion equipment to ensure fast, effective care. For neonatal patients, we carry a specialized suite of equipment to provide the highest standards of care for this vulnerable population.

Enhanced Comfort and Smooth Flights

The models of Learjets we use are well-known for their first-class interiors. Business class interiors and luxurious seating are just some of the amenities available in these aircraft. In addition, these Learjets are able to reach high cruising altitudes, which provides for increased smoothness.

Smooth rides to and from California mean increased comfort, but more importantly, less jostling of our patients. This is particularly useful when flying over and around the mountains in California, and compensating for the state’s maritime weather patterns.

Commercial Medical Escorts

If you or your loved one is able to travel on a commercial flight with assistance, AirCARE1 employs staff who can accompany our patients on commercial flights.

With a simple phone call, we can make the arrangements to ensure the highest level of care possible is at your fingertips when on a commercial flight. We will arrange everything, including the transportation to and from the airport to making sure the proper medication and equipment travel with our patients.

A friendly, knowledgeable medical team member will accompany you or your loved one every step of the way.
