    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.

    Why Thailand generates patient transfers

    Thailand combines very high visitor volumes with a wide spread in the level of definitive care available between major cities and resort provinces. A patient stabilised in a regional facility often needs to move, either to a larger centre within the region, or home to Australia to continue treatment closer to family and under domestic cover.

    Common presentations include road and motorcycle trauma, marine and diving incidents, cardiac and neurological events, orthopaedic injuries requiring surgery, and complications following elective procedures.

    Origins we work from

    We arrange transfers from Thailand's main international gateways and from provincial airports where the runway supports the aircraft required.

    • Bangkok, the primary long-range gateway
    • Phuket, high visitor volume and marine incident load
    • Koh Samui and the Gulf islands, generally via a connecting sector
    • Chiang Mai and northern Thailand
    • Pattaya region via nearby airports
    • Provincial facilities, with a road or short air leg to a suitable departure airport

    How the transfer is put together

    Bangkok to Australia is a long sector. Depending on the acuity and the destination, that may mean a long-range jet direct, a mid-size jet with a technical stop, a commercial stretcher where approvals and timing allow, or a staged transfer via a regional centre.

    Clinical configuration is set to the patient's current support level. Stable seated patients frequently travel with a medical escort on scheduled services at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated aircraft, and we will recommend that when it is appropriate.

    Insurers, assistance companies and families

    Many Thailand cases are insurer-driven, and we work directly with insurers and assistance companies on authorisation, clinical justification and reporting. Where there is no cover, or cover is disputed, we give an honest indicative range early so a family can make decisions with real numbers rather than guesses.

    Patient information is handled as sensitive: reports go to restricted storage and only to the coordinators and clinicians working the case.

    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.

    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.

    "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."
