    Speaking to someone is usually the fastest way to start.

    Our medical transfer desk is staffed 24 hours. You do not need complete information to make the first call, the current location of the patient and where they need to go is enough to begin.

    Patient information is treated as sensitive. Medical detail and uploaded reports go only to the clinical and operations coordinators handling the case, are never placed in web addresses, and are never shared with advertising or analytics platforms.

    Manila operating conditions that shape the plan

    Manila's constraint is parking and slots, not runway. For charter work we assess Manila and Clark together and pick whichever gives a confirmable slot within the required window.

    For patient transfers, the aircraft is positioned where it can actually be parked and loaded, with the ambulance leg planned to that airport rather than the closest one on paper.

    • Ninoy Aquino International (MNL/RPLL) is severely slot-constrained with limited general-aviation parking
    • Clark (CRK/RPLC) north of the capital is the standard alternative when Manila slots or parking are unavailable
    • Philippine civil aviation permits are required for non-scheduled operations
    • Typhoon season from roughly June to November is the dominant seasonal risk across the archipelago

    Medevac from Manila, configured around the patient

    Manila sits at the centre of one of the Asia-Pacific's most active medical corridors. Aviall arranges fixed-wing air ambulance and emergency medical evacuation from Ninoy Aquino International (MNL/RPLL) and Clark (CRK), working to the clinical picture of the case rather than a fixed aircraft type.

    A single coordinator owns the mission end to end: clinical team, airframe, ambulance staging in Manila and at destination, and the brief to the receiving unit. Customs and diplomatic clearances are handled in the same workflow.

    When to call for a Manila medevac

    Most calls reach us for one of three reasons: the airline timetable will not hold the clinical timeline, the patient needs a stretcher or full ICU, or the repatriation out of Manila involves more coordination than a treating team can carry.

    • ICU-grade transfer with ventilator, infusion pumps, monitoring and clinical escort
    • Neonatal and paediatric transfer with isolette-compatible loading and specialist retrieval team
    • Cross-border repatriation with insurer or assistance company in the loop
    • Stretcher case on a commercial wide-body where the clinical picture allows
    • Multi-patient evacuation following a regional medical surge or incident
    • Time-critical organ transport with hard ischaemic windows

    Aircraft and clinical configurations from Manila

    We match the aircraft to the case: range for the sector, runway limits at both ends, the clinical fit-out needed, and the patient's tolerance for pressure changes. No fleet to fill.

    • Light jet, short-range, single-stretcher missions inside the regional Asia-Pacific
    • Midsize jet, extended range with full ICU fit-out, suited to inter-capital and trans-Tasman work
    • Long-range jet, international repatriation with ventilator and infusion support
    • Turboprop, strip-capable airframes for remote and mining-site retrieval
    • Commercial wide-body stretcher, cost-effective repatriation with airline approvals managed

    Coordination model from Manila

    One person, start to finish. The coordinator who picks up the referral runs it to the receiving bedside, with the flight followed live and each clinical handover recorded.

    • 24/7 medical activation desk on a single number
    • Clinical lead in contact with the sending and receiving teams
    • Ground ambulance staged at origin and destination
    • MEDIF, oxygen calculations and airline approvals where commercial uplift is used
    • Customs, immigration and diplomatic clearances on cross-border missions
    • Insurers, assistance companies and families all deal with the same coordinator

    Medical transfer & repatriation desk

    Request a medical transfer

    You do not need a complete clinical picture to contact us. Tell us where the patient is and where they need to go, and a coordinator will start assessing options, aircraft, clinical configuration, crewing, clearances and ground ambulance, while the rest of the information is still being gathered.

    Enough to start

    • Where the patient is now

      City or country, and the facility type if you know it

    • Where they need to go

      City, country, or receiving hospital if already arranged

    • Rough timing

      Today, within 24 hours, or later this week

    • How they are travelling

      Seated, wheelchair, stretcher, or intensive care, an estimate is fine

    Helpful, but can follow

    • A medical report, discharge summary or fit-to-fly assessment, uploaded securely
    • Treating team or transfer-desk contact, so our clinical coordinator can speak with them directly
    • Insurer, assistance company or funding arrangement, if one applies
    • Receiving hospital acceptance, where that is still being organised

    Clinical acceptance and aircraft availability are confirmed after review by the clinical team and the receiving facility. Contacting us does not by itself confirm a flight, a crew or acceptance of the patient.

    Mission examples · Illustrative

    What this looks like in operation

    Representative mission profiles drawn from recurring work. Identifying details, operators, hospitals, routes, aircraft tail numbers, are intentionally omitted.

    International · Repatriation

    Long-range stretcher repatriation across the Pacific

    A complex case with ventilator and infusion support required movement from a regional Pacific facility back to a domestic tertiary centre. Aviall configured a long-range jet with a critical-care medical fit-out, coordinated bed-to-bed handover with both treating teams, and managed customs and immigration at each stop.

    Outcome

    Bed-to-bed transfer completed without clinical deterioration en route.

    Neonatal · Critical

    Neonatal transfer to a tertiary paediatric centre

    A neonate requiring escalated care had to be moved from a regional hospital to a metropolitan paediatric tertiary centre. Aviall coordinated an aeromedical aircraft and a specialist retrieval team, with isolette-compatible loading and parent transit on the same airframe.

    Outcome

    Patient delivered to receiving NICU within the clinical window agreed by both teams.

    Remote · Mining medevac

    Trauma extraction from a remote mine site

    An incident at a remote mine site required immediate movement of a trauma patient to a metropolitan trauma centre. Aviall launched on the standing medevac protocol, with a clinical team mobilised in parallel and the receiving trauma team pre-briefed before take-off.

    Outcome

    Patient on the operating table at the receiving centre well inside the planned window.

    Why operators, brokers and end clients keep calling back

    Credibility built on operational discipline, not marketing

    "Single point of clinical accountability from the call to bed-to-bed handover. Our retrieval team had everything they needed before wheels-up."

    , Aeromedical retrieval lead · Tertiary hospital network

    "The case management discipline matched our internal standards. That is unusual in the assistance market."

    , Operations director · International medical assistance company

    "Aircraft selection was driven by the patient's clinical picture, not by what was on the apron. That is the right way around."
