----------------------------------------------

Lack of good medical facilities around living places has led to an invention that has been long overdue. The fixed wing air ambulance is very helpful today. This ambulance is mainly an airplane with a team of trained medical officers. They travel all across the country providing transport services to people in need of urgent medical attention yet hospitals nearby do not have the capacity to offer the services they need.

The fixed wing ambulance is useful in various ways; it enables ground transportation, ensures specialized care reaches people who need it, and offers emergency transportation of the sick on private airplanes. Their companies in conjunction with others normally provide these special services. This is normally done after an agreement is entered into by partnering companies. As a team, the companies ensure that adequate planes and staff attend to clients.

The ambulances offer services to individual patients, other companies that provide controlled health care, foreign embassies and even establishments that provide health maintenance services. Companies that offer such services are always reliable and dependable to patients. This is majorly because their movement is through planes which are faster and small sized. These qualities enable them access any part of the world with ease.

Planes used as ambulances for provision of emergency services are of varied capacities. There are those that have space enough for carrying one patient, some doctors and three more passengers. This model of planes can travel for at most 1500 miles, and its mean velocity is approximated to be 450 miles in a single hour. This plane contains an enclosed lavatory.

Another commonly used plane is Chieftain; can only carry one patient, two other passengers and the medical team. Chieftain travels 900 miles averagely at a speed of 215 miles an hour. The most frequently used ambulance planes are the Lear jets. They are planes capable of carrying a full team of medical officers, one patient and at most 2 passengers. The maximum distance it can travel is 2195 miles at a speed of 475 miles in a single hour.

Another type of plane used is Gulfstream III that has a 3500 miles range. It carries doctors, six more passengers and one patient. It has an average speed of 500 miles a single hour. These planes are usually loaded with sufficient medical facilities for first aid, and their medical team is composed of well trained and qualified practitioners.

Service providers always aim at serving people with varied needs. Patients be in need of life support services; either basic or advanced, international stretcher services; for patients in critical conditions or even emergency transportation aboard private planes. They also provide medical escort services to people who need them.

Air ambulance providers are always available be it daytime or night. This makes their services reliable and easy to access in case of any need of medical attention and emergency air transport for patients under critical medical conditions . Almost all medical service providers have coordinators and multilingual flight attendants to allow easy communications with clients.
