What is medical repatriation?

Medical repatriation is the scheduled transport of a patient back to their home country or region for continued care — typically a fit-to-fly patient moving on a planned, non-emergency basis. BookMediFly helps you request and compare quotes for these scheduled fixed-wing flights from participating FAA Part 135 operators.

BookMediFly is a transparent marketplace platform. It does not fly aircraft, broker, provide medical care, or act as an insurer. This page is for scheduled fixed-wing transport only — not helicopter, 911, or emergency dispatch.

How BookMediFly works

Scene 1 · The traditional way
The traditional way takes time
A case manager juggles browser tabs of operator listings, a calendar flipping from Sep 1 to Sep 3, a ringing phone showing "Calling Operator B", and four sticky notes (Operator A "$80k w/ ground", Operator B "no ground, sounds like a broker", Operator C "same as B, broker?", Operator D "follow up needed"). A trip notes sheet reads "route + dates · concerned family · payment type". A fixed clock's red second hand keeps spinning.
Scene 2 · One request
Enter transport details once
One clean request form: From Orlando, Florida — To Ireland — Date 09/10/2026 — Transport Type Level 3 + NICU — Patient Weight 9 lbs — Additional Traveler 1 family member, 125 lbs — Payment Direct Pay (selected) or Insurance — Notes field with red helper text "Do not enter diagnosis, medical records, DOB, MRN, or sensitive patient details." Button reads "Submit Request" (ready, not yet submitted). Illustrative example.
Scene 3 · Operator matching
Participating fixed-wing operators review the request
The submitted request — Orlando, FL → Ireland, 09/10/2026, Level 3 + NICU, patient 9 lbs, 1 family member (125 lbs), Direct Pay — fans out to four participating fixed-wing operators: Operators A, C, and D are In-Network (green); Operator B is Out-of-Network (yellow). Matching is by route, availability, transport needs, and fixed-wing only.
Scene 4 · Operator responses
Compare quote options side by side
Three illustrative response cards. Response A (Learjet 45XR / N452LF) carries the "FASTEST RESPONSE" banner above the card header. Response B (King Air 200 / N818KA) is the no-ground, Out-of-Network option at $47,050. Response C (Citation Bravo / N621CB) is the highlighted "LOWEST QUOTE" at $32,100 — In-Network, Tier 2 Silver, includes ground transport, capabilities Bariatric and Ventilator. A "Show more quotes" affordance sits beneath. Actual responses vary.
Scene 5 · Coordinated transport
Selected operator coordinates transport
A map of the US east coast (with a recognizable Florida peninsula) on the left, Atlantic Ocean across the middle, and Ireland on the right. A ground vehicle runs Orlando Hospital → MCO, a refined fixed-wing medical aircraft flies the dotted route across the Atlantic facing the direction of travel, and a second ground vehicle runs Ireland Airport → Destination Hospital. A "SELECTED OPERATOR · Coordinating Transport" badge recaps "Response C — Citation Bravo · $32,100 · In-Network · Tier 2 Silver" and connects to the route with a teal dashed line.

BookMediFly is a software platform. Transportation, medical coordination, pricing, and flight operations are handled directly by the selected operator.

Frequently asked questions

Is BookMediFly an aircraft operator?

No. BookMediFly is a software platform that helps coordinate quote requests with vetted fixed-wing medical transport providers. We do not operate aircraft, broker, provide medical care, or act as an insurer.

Is repatriation for emergencies or helicopters?

No. BookMediFly is for scheduled fixed-wing medical repatriation flights, typically for fit-to-fly patients. It is not for 911-style emergencies, helicopter dispatch, or ground ambulance transport.

How much does medical repatriation cost?

Cost depends on aircraft type, route, distance, medical needs on board, and whether insurance is involved. Quotes come directly from vetted fixed-wing operators, so the most reliable price for your specific trip is the one returned in response to your request. BookMediFly does not publish a price range because every trip is different.

Does insurance cover medical repatriation?

Some plans may cover medically necessary fixed-wing transport, but coverage varies widely by carrier, plan, and trip. We recommend confirming benefits, prior-authorization rules, and out-of-network exposure directly with your insurer before booking. BookMediFly does not bill insurance.

What should I enter in the request?

Start with the basic trip details, such as pickup city and country, destination city and country, expected travel date, and requester contact information. Please do not enter diagnosis, medical records, or sensitive patient details anywhere on BookMediFly. If additional details are needed for a complex trip, a vetted fixed-wing operator may follow up directly by phone or email.
