Jet Rescue Air Ambulance

What Jet Rescue Air Ambulance does

Jet Rescue Air Ambulance is a privately held international air ambulance provider operating through a dual-entity structure: Med Jets SA de CV, the Mexican operator that holds Air Operator Certificate MTS/2015 and owns Mexico-registered aircraft, and Med Jets USA INC, a Florida-incorporated US Department of Transportation-authorized indirect air carrier that contracts with FAA Part 135 direct carriers such as Century Aviation for US-flag missions. The company provides 24/7 bedside-to-bedside critical care transport primarily for tourists, expatriates, and local citizens who experience medical emergencies in Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean and require repatriation to hospitals in the United States, Canada, Europe, or Asia. Its fleet comprises 10 Learjet aircraft (35, 36, 55, and 60 series), 1 helicopter, and 2 Dassault Falcon 50 wide-body aircraft positioned in Miami and Honolulu, all configured for adult, pediatric, and neonatal critical care with full ICU medical interiors including cardiac monitors, transport ventilators, infusion pumps, portable ultrasound, and controlled medications.

The business model is transactional and per-mission: each flight is priced individually based on distance, aircraft type, medical team composition, and patient acuity, with no publicly disclosed price list. Revenue is collected through three streams: direct patient/insurer billing for insured cases (the company handles preauthorization, denial appeals, and litigation to recover benefits), self-pay via credit card or wire transfer for uninsured patients, and a mix of commercial medical escort and stretcher-on-commercial options for lower-acuity cases. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on 24/7 multilingual flight coordination (Spanish, Portuguese, French, English, German), direct phone/WhatsApp contact, and an established referral network with hospitals, clinics, physicians, ground ambulances, customs, immigration, and airport authorities across more than 20 Latin American and Caribbean countries. Jet Rescue holds EURAMI accreditation across five specialty categories, is licensed by both the State of Florida and the Republic of Mexico, and was named ITIJ Air Ambulance Provider of the Year.

• Global Air Rescue: International air ambulance and medical evacuation company operating worldwide with focus on intercontinental patient transport. Comparable on full mission coordination and insurance billing model.
• REVA Air Ambulance: Fort Lauderdale-based international fixed-wing air ambulance operator with a similar Latin America/Caribbean corridor focus, Learjet fleet, and bedside-to-bedside service model. Closest direct competitor on mission profile and geography.
