Aircare International and Air Nurses Form Alliance

In-flight medical support and emergency telemedicine provider Aircare International is partnering with Air Nurses to improve the availability and quality of medical support for business aviation clients.

Unlike typical medical escorts that typically provide only non-emergency monitoring or companionship for patients, Air Nurses’ board-certified flight nurses (CFRN) are trained and credentialed to deliver advanced medical care in the air. Well-versed in flight operations, as well as cabin safety and the physiological effects of altitude, they can manage complex medical situations during transport.

“Air Nurses fills a critical gap for business aviation clients when medical escort is needed,” said company founder and CEO Ericka Essington. “Our speed of response, clinical caliber, and discretion align with Aircare International’s standards of safety and preparedness, which is why we have chosen them as our primary partner for emergency in-flight telemedicine support.”

Under the agreement, clients will have access to streamlined medical services coordination that combines Aircare International’s expertise in emergency telemedicine with Air Nurses’ clinical team. Services are designed to meet clinical and safety standards while providing clear communication and logistical support.

“This partnership enables us to provide clients with timely access to experienced medical professionals during flights,” said Karl Kamps, Aircare’s v-p of crew staffing and emergency telemedicine. “Working with Air Nurses allows us to maintain consistent safety and preparedness standards, while offering a seamless experience for passengers and flight crews.”
