Angel MedFlight Worldwide Air Ambulance

What Angel MedFlight Worldwide Air Ambulance does

Angel MedFlight Worldwide Air Ambulance, operating legally as Aviation West Charters (dba), is a Scottsdale, Arizona-based provider of long-distance fixed-wing air medical transport in the United States and internationally. Founded in 2007 and operating as a brand under parent MedHealth Partners, the company runs a fleet of 15 medically configured Learjet aircraft outfitted for ICU-level care, supporting both inter-state and cross-border patient transfers for adults and children who are too medically fragile to travel by commercial airline. Service lines include medical flights, MedEvac flights, long-distance medical transportation, and organ-transport missions, delivered as bedside-to-bedside care with a 24/7 flight coordination center and integrated ground logistics.

The company's product surface is anchored on a custom-built MedLog2 iPad medical charting application developed in-house and integrated with Salesforce and Amazon S3 for HIPAA-compliant digital storage; clinical content management and record-handling in-flight are core to the technology story, alongside advanced clinical crew certifications (CFRN, FP-C, RRT-ACCS, PALS, ACLS, BLS) held across the medical team. Custom-built, role-based permissions and a workflow-automation layer support field clinicians in capturing and managing patient records end-to-end.

Commercially, Angel MedFlight operates a sales-led, quote-based model: each flight is priced individually based on origin/destination, care level, and clinical requirements, with insurance coordination handled as a bundled service. The company targets three primary segments — patients and families, healthcare professionals (hospital case managers, Centers of Excellence liaisons, social workers), and insurance/worker's compensation/travel insurance payers — and reports having worked with more than 5,000 health insurance plans and 7,000+ hospitals and facilities. Distribution is direct, with no resellers, through a 24/7 phone line, a website booking form, and referral partnerships with healthcare institutions. The company is privately held and does not disclose revenue.
