PRO - JET AMBULANCE SERVICE

What PRO - JET AMBULANCE SERVICE does

PRO-JET AMBULANCE SERVICE GmbH is a privately held German air ambulance operator that organizes and executes international medical repatriations using dedicated ambulance aircraft. Founded in 1998, the company is headquartered at Cologne/Bonn Airport and the Airport Businesspark Cologne, with its registered seat in Wesseling; managing directors are Olaf Wierz and Wolfgang Edling. Service scope covers hospital-to-hospital transfers, intensive-care air transport, ground logistics coordination, embassy and aviation authority liaison, and 24/7/365 mission intake via hotline, email, and website contact form.

The operating model centers on a dedicated ambulance aircraft fleet, flight-physician and intensive-care-nurse medical crews, and a 24/7 operations center that coordinates multi-jurisdiction missions end-to-end. Technology is non-software in nature: aircraft, medical equipment, and operational processes, with a Wix-hosted commercial website serving as the primary digital touchpoint. EURAMI (European Aeromedical Institute) accreditation, covering worldwide intensive care transport for adults, children, and neonates, functions as the principal quality and regulatory differentiator and is prominently displayed on the website.

Revenue is generated on a per-mission professional-services basis, with no public pricing or subscription structure; quotes are issued per inquiry. The customer base is split between insurance companies and international assistance providers (primary B2B channel), private individuals and families paying out of pocket, and corporate/institutional clients arranging repatriation of traveling employees or members. Per the company's own figures, more than 12,500 missions have been completed across 150+ countries over 25+ years. No funding rounds, M&A, or leadership changes are disclosed in the available source material, and revenue is not publicly reported.

Broad incumbents

• ADAC Luftrettung: German ADAC group's air rescue division operates air ambulance and HEMS missions, primarily domestically but also providing cross-border repatriation. Comparable in German-based operations and EURAMI-aligned standards; much larger in scale and broader in service portfolio.
• International SOS: Global medical and travel security assistance company that arranges medical evacuations and repatriations for corporate clients and insurers worldwide. Overlaps with PRO-JET as a buyer/commissioner of air ambulance missions and an occasional competitor for fully bundled assistance contracts.

Direct peers

• MKT Ambulance: German air ambulance provider offering international medical repatriation by ambulance aircraft from a domestic base. Closely comparable in geographic operating model, customer mix (insurers, assistance companies, private individuals), and regulatory accreditation approach.
• Capital Air Ambulance: UK-based dedicated air ambulance operator serving international repatriation markets across Europe and globally. Directly comparable service offering (ICU repatriation, medical escorts, 24/7 operations) and competes for European insurance and assistance panel business.
• Medical Air Rescue: Specialized international air ambulance operator providing ICU-level patient repatriation across continents. Comparable mission profile, dedicated aircraft fleet, and referral-based GTM targeting insurers and private-pay clients in the same European/global repatriation market as PRO-JET.
• Airlec Air Ambulance: France-based air ambulance operator providing international medical repatriation with ICU-configured aircraft and medical crews. Comparable mission profile, European base with global reach, and competes for the same cross-border repatriation and insurance panel referrals as PRO-JET.
• FAI Air Ambulance: FAI runs a dedicated air ambulance division (FAI Air Ambulance) operating from Germany with similar fixed-wing medical repatriation services across global routes. Comparable in mission type, medical crew model, and EURAMI-equivalent accreditation, and competes for the same insurance and assistance company panels in Europe.
• European Air Ambulance (EAA): Luxembourg-headquartered air ambulance operator offering worldwide intensive care repatriation with dedicated medical aircraft. Directly comparable in scope (international repatriation, ICU-equipped aircraft, 24/7 dispatch) and competes for the same European insurance and assistance panel contracts as PRO-JET.

Regional players

• Rega (Swiss Air-Rescue): Swiss non-profit air rescue organization performing international medical repatriation by fixed-wing and helicopter. Comparable in mission profile and European medical repatriation market, but primarily serves Switzerland-resident members and operates regionally.

Emerging players

• MedjetAssist: US-headquartered membership-based air medical transport and repatriation program with global reach. Comparable in international repatriation service offering and insurance/assistance ecosystem participation, though smaller and more US-centric than PRO-JET.
