Medway Air Ambulance

What Medway Air Ambulance does

Medway Air Ambulance is a privately held fixed-wing air ambulance operator headquartered in Lawrenceville, Georgia, providing medical transport services to critically ill patients across all 50 U.S. states and internationally. Founded in 2000, the company owns and operates a fleet of 16 Learjet 45 aircraft equipped with ICU-level medical equipment — including ventilators, cardiac monitors, defibrillators, point-of-care testing, and specialized neonatal isolettes — supporting critical care, air medical transport, neonatal and pediatric specialty, medical evacuation (medevac), and commercial medical escort services. The company has completed more than 22,000 medical flights since founding and maintains an unblemished safety record.

The company sells directly to end customers with no broker middlemen, accepting requests 24/7/365 via phone and website, and manages the entire "bedside-to-bedside" transport process including insurance pre-authorization, ground ambulance coordination, flight medical staffing, and arrival handover. Customer acquisition centers on relationships with hospital case managers, major U.S. health insurance carriers, travel insurance companies, and direct patient/family inquiries. A full-time staff of doctors, nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists, pilots, and in-house maintenance technicians operates under FAA Part 135 certification, with accreditations from EURAMI (four specialty categories), NAAMTA, ARGUS International (Platinum), and the U.S. Military (CARB).

Medway generates revenue on a fee-for-service basis, with each flight quoted individually based on distance and medical needs and billed through commercial insurance, third-party billing, credit card, or direct payment. The company operates as a subsidiary brand under MedHealth Partners. Revenue, funding, and detailed financial figures are not publicly disclosed.
