For example
Emergency on board
A passenger on a long-distance flight from Hong-Kong to Frankfurt/Main, Germany, suddenly suffers from unpredictable chest pain and dizziness. Via satellite, the crew immediately initiates a telephone conference with the doctor on duty at med con team. As the flight cannot return to the departure airport the doctor, considering the patient’s condition, proposes how to treat the patient in the present emergency situation and recommends to continue the flight. Three hours later the plane lands at the Rhein-Main airport. Further medical support on the ground, including immediate transport to the University Hospital in Frankfurt after landing, has already been organized in advance.

Aviation Care - Everyone Is Included
In the event of a medical emergency, it is helpful to have medical equipment on board. Our Aviation Care Service offers comprehensive advice on which aids are particularly suitable in such situations. This allows you to make informed decisions on which equipment to take on board the aircraft. Your crew will also receive competent and comprehensive first aid training so that they can help quickly and correctly.
Our Aviation Care Service takes care of everyone aboard: The team in the cockpit receives expert advice and can therefore easily find the best solution for everyone involved. This often avoids stopovers. However, if a stopover is absolutely necessary, your flight operations team can rely on quick and professional support when arranging medical care for both passengers and crew. Regardless of the medical emergency, patients will receive the best possible care and exactly the help they need.
Medical emergencies and exceptional situations also place considerable physical and mental strain on the crew.

They receive support in coming to terms with difficult situations and dealing with it in such a way that they do not suffer themselves
Medical In-Flight Assistance - The Benefits of Digitalization in Aviation Care
Everyone is probably familiar with the famous question from movies: "Is there a doctor on board?" In everyday life however, the answer is not always positive. For this eventuality our Aviation Care Service offers a sensible alternative using the possibilities of digitalization to ensure competent medical advice is available on the aircraft.
Telemedicine offers the opportunity to communicate with a doctor even if none is available on the plane. Many patients already use such services from home, but telemedicine can also be used when in the air. This allows the crew to communicate with a doctor, describe the exceptional situation and obtain professional advice.
Aviation Care - Quick Action for Stopovers
We usually try to avoid stopovers with our Aviation Care service. In most cases, it is possible to provide patients with adequate care without having to significantly disrupt flight operations. In some situations however, stopovers cannot be avoided. We then ensure that medical assistance is arranged efficiently to reduce the amount of time required. This is not only in the interests of flight operations, but also an advantage for patients as we ensure that patients are taken directly and immediately to a suitable hospital after the stopover.
Aviation Care - The Correct Handling of Data
Data plays an important role in medical emergencies. The more information doctors have about a patient and a case, the more accurate the diagnosis they can make and the better the help they can provide. Our Aviation Care Service ensures that all the information and data needed in an exceptional medical situation is available as quickly as possible.
We provide a worldwide hospital database that can be accessed. This enables us to find the facility that is best suited to the patient's situation and region as quickly as possible.
Air Ambulance Services - Fast and Safe Transportation Home
Another essential component of our Aviation Care Service is air rescue with transportation home. It is not always appropriate for patients to spend a long time in a hospital in another country or city. We take care of prompt and appropriate repatriation to support the recovery of the patient in the best way possible. We have a great deal of experience and expertise in this area allowing our travel risk management to ensure medically appropriate and justifiable repatriation.
