Paramedics. We sometimes catch a glimpse of their flashing lights on the road or see them fleetingly at an event, observing the crowds, waiting to be called upon when someone needs a medic. However, the life of a paramedic stretches far beyond being casually observed by us, and certainly beyond the road and flashing lights.

Medical repatriation on an air ambulance can be a stressful experience, but with Universal Air Evac, we strive to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible. Whether you’re a patient or a loved one accompanying them, understanding the key do’s and don’ts can help ensure a seamless journey. 

When it comes to medical evacuations, each journey presents its own unique set of challenges, demanding meticulous planning, skilled execution, and adaptability from the medical crew. 

Providing two permanently configured Learjet 35 air ambulances, Universal Air Evac has joined the International Assistance Group as an Accredited Service Provider. We are delighted to have this additional capacity in our network as tourism and business travel returns to South Africa and neighbouring countries.

With the December holidays finally being upon us, many families are booking and embarking upon their holidays for a few weeks of rest, relaxation and fun. However, amidst the festive cheer, it's crucial to prioritise safety and protection, especially when it comes to travel. 

In the world of air evacuation, where every moment counts,  and precision is paramount, the choice of aircraft can make all the difference in life-or-death situations. Universal Air Evac has chosen the Learjet 35A to be a crucial part of its fleet, and beyond its impressive range and capability, there are compelling reasons why this sleek airframe stands out.
