Eagle Air Med

What Eagle Air Med does

Eagle Air Med is a regional air medical transport provider headquartered in Blanding, Utah, specializing in critical patient transport from remote and rural communities in the Four Corners region (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah) to larger healthcare facilities. Founded in 1981 by Jon Hunt originally as Blanding Air Ambulance, the company began with non-emergent transports supporting the Indian Health Service and the Navajo Nation, then expanded into emergent transports in the 1980s and progressively upgraded its fleet — from Cessna 421s in the 1990s to Beechcraft King Air aircraft from 2000 onward. The current fleet includes fixed-wing (Beechcraft King Air C90B, Pilatus PC-12) and rotary-wing (Airbus AS350B3e) aircraft equipped for advanced life support, basic life support, critical care, neonatal, and trauma transports.

The business operates through two primary revenue streams. First, fee-for-service emergency medical transportation billed to patients, insurers, and federal/state assistance programs, with patient advocates supporting benefit enrollment and billing resolution. Second, an annual membership model administered through the AirMedCare Network alliance (covering Eagle Air Med alongside Air Evac Lifeteam, Guardian Flight, Med-Trans, and REACH) at $99 per year for general households and $79 per year for seniors over age 60, providing financial protection against air ambulance costs. Distribution relies on a 24/7 Emergency Communications Center, healthcare facility partnerships across the Four Corners, and AirMedCare Network membership acquisition.

Eagle Air Med is CAMTS-accredited and partners with Baldwin Aviation Safety and Compliance for Safety Management System implementation under Just Culture principles. Since 2019, the company has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Medical Response (GMR), a diversified medical transportation conglomerate with more than 39,000 team members, 375 rotor-wing and 132 fixed-wing aircraft, and 47+ bases nationwide. Within the GMR family, Eagle Air Med functions as a regional brand serving the Southwest, integrated with the broader Guardian Flight and AirMedCare Network distribution and membership platforms.
