AeroMD

What AeroMD does

AeroMD (legal entity AAC-Air Ambulance Caribbean, Inc.) is a privately held air ambulance and medical transport company headquartered in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, founded in 2014. The company operates the only dedicated, on-island fixed-wing medevac fleet in the Caribbean, using a Cessna Citation Bravo jet (range 1,587 nautical miles, 460 mph cruise, 45,000 ft ceiling) and turboprop aircraft (Aero-One and Aero-Two) configured as flying ICUs equipped with cardiac monitors, defibrillators, mechanical ventilators, IV pumps, ultrasound, video laryngoscopes, and portable laboratories. Operations are supported by a 24/7 global command center (CaribComm), a ground ambulance fleet launched in 2022 (units on St. Croix and St. Thomas plus a roving critical care transport vehicle), and physician-directed training in high-fidelity HPS Simulation Labs.

The business model combines recurring membership subscriptions with fee-for-service air ambulance transport and insurance reimbursement. Memberships start at approximately $25/month for couples and include tiers for U.S. mainland residents, USVI/Caribbean residents, and Islands Only plans, plus optional N.A.T.E.O. and N.A.T.O. riders for expanded North American transport; the company also accepts most private insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid and offers financing up to $100,000 through American Healthcare Lending. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer (individuals, families, corporate groups) supplemented by healthcare provider referrals, a preferred-provider partnership with Island Global Yachting marinas across the Caribbean, and the January 1, 2025 acquisition of SkyMed VI membership.

AeroMD has completed over 3,000 evacuation missions covering more than 4.5 million miles since founding, and was recognized by U.S. Congress for disaster-response patient care following Hurricanes Irma and Maria (2017), during which it conducted 100+ medevac missions. Aircraft operations are provided under FAR Part 135 by Bohlke International Airways (Certificate #FISA096A). The company is led by Dr. Brendan Anzalone (President and CMO, a U.S. Air Force veteran with 2,000+ supervised medevac missions), Allan Adler (VP Business Development, 30+ years in medical transport), Karanda Osborne (VP Finance and Controller), and Stephen Evans-Freke (Board Chairman), with a headcount of 11-50 employees.

Product overview

AeroMD is an air ambulance and medical transport company offering a portfolio of interconnected services centered on its Caribbean-based, 24/7 fixed-wing air ambulance fleet.
