Aeromedevac Air Ambulance

What Aeromedevac Air Ambulance does

Aeromedevac Air Ambulance is a privately held fixed-wing air ambulance operator headquartered at Gillespie Field in El Cajon, California, founded in 1993 and continuously under original ownership. The company provides bed-to-bed medical air transportation for patients requiring transfers between hospitals, international medical evacuations, and specialty care transports, using a dedicated all-Learjet fleet (Learjet 31, 35, and 55) with in-house pilots, nurses, paramedics, and FAA-licensed maintenance technicians operating 24/7. Aeromedevac holds three independent aeromedical accreditations (EURAMI, NAAMTA, ARGUS) plus an ARGUS Gold rating and NATA certification, and maintains a BBB A+ rating.

The core service portfolio comprises domestic US transfers (including Alaska and Hawaii), Mexico, Central America, Caribbean, Canada, and long-range international missions, augmented by specialty modules: neonatal and pediatric transport through a flagship partnership with Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), Mechanical Circulatory Support transport (ECMO, IABP, VAD, Impella) via the ECMO PRN partnership, organ retrieval and transplant logistics, infectious disease transport using IsoArk isolation chambers with HEPA-filtered closed respiratory circuits, and a commercial airline medical escort service. The bed-to-bed model covers ground ambulance coordination at both sending and receiving facilities.

Aeromedevac operates a B2B2C commercial model, selling through toll-free and international phone lines, online quote-request forms (English and Spanish), and direct enterprise relationships with hospital case managers, health plans, third-party administrators (TPAs), workers' compensation insurers, and travel assistance providers as a preferred air ambulance provider. Pricing is quote-based per mission, varying with distance, medical equipment requirements, and level of care, with all bedside-to-bedside expenses bundled into the quote. The communications team is bilingual (English/Spanish), and the company maintains active social media presence across Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter.
