Bermuda Air Ambulance is a ready-to-fly emergency medical transport service.

In a medical emergency, every second counts. Our air ambulance jet is on the ground in Bermuda and ready to take patients to specialist hospitals and trauma centres in the US, Canada or elsewhere.

While Bermuda is locally served by the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital (KEMH), approximately 200 patients require emergency specialist care from overseas medical and trauma centres each year. When a patient’s condition is life-threatening, time is always of critical importance.

Bermuda is approximately two hours from major US east coast cities via air, which makes these destinations suitable for emergency medical transfer. Without a dedicated on-island air ambulance, however, emergency evacuation had been taking up to 72 hours. By eliminating time spent sourcing, contracting, negotiating and waiting for a medical jet to arrive from the US, Bermuda Air Ambulance provides a target delivery of only three to four hours to US east coast specialist hospitals.

Bermuda Air Ambulance reduces mortality rates and enhances timely patient recovery. Patients receive faster specialist care for acute life-threatening or debilitating injuries such as stroke, heart attack, neonatal cases and major trauma.
