An ambulance is an aircraft that is modified into an ambulance for the patient willing to travel overseas. It is equipped with special equipment necessary for saving life. Generally, in some cases a medical escort is also provided at the air ambulance to look after the patient constantly during the journey.

Generally, an ambulance costs 1.6 lacs to 2.5 lacs per hour. The cost varies upon the type of ambulance, carrying capacity, distance to be travelled and the care to be given as prehospitalization in the flight.

The Air Ambulance serve many purposes like:
a. For medical emergency at another country.

b. For not so emergency but some medical treatments like orthodontistry, Face alignment, cosmetic surgery, hair extension etc.

People with disabilities who require special support can travel in the air with the help of airlines or airports. It is the responsibility of the airport or airline to assist customers in getting to their destination safely and with the least amount of stress.

One of the greatest advantages from medical tourism is patients has more convenience and quicker access to medical services. A lot of developed countries do not have access to quick and easy medical procedures and have long waiting lists.

Medical tourism (also known as medical tourism or health tourism, or even health tourism in general) is the term that is used to refer to the growing trend of crossing international borders to access medical services. The services that travelers typically seek are elective procedures as well with complex surgeries.

The aircraft is not medically equipped and operated airplane that transports people. If permitted, they can carry oxygen supplemental along with other medical essentials suggested by the doctor. The patient may be assisted by the medical team or a caretaker, along with relatives and friends along.
