Medical, Medevac & Humanitarian Missions

Medevac and humanitarian flights compress a full trip-support workload into a few hours. Permits that normally take three working days must be raised as urgent, a handling agent has to accept an unplanned aircraft, an ambulance must be at the steps rather than at the terminal, and a receiving hospital must know the arrival time before wheels-up.

LFS runs these missions from the same 24/7 duty desk that handles scheduled trip support, with a named controller from first call to arrival. We raise urgent overflight and landing permits and press authorities directly where humanitarian priority applies, arrange ramp-side ambulance access, coordinate with the medical team on oxygen, power, stretcher loading and cabin configuration, and keep the receiving hospital and family contacts updated with revised timings.

Humanitarian and relief operations bring their own requirements: exemptions for restricted airspace, customs treatment for relief cargo, apron space for large aircraft at small fields, and repeated rotations into airports with limited fuel. We build a station brief for each field in the rotation, confirm fuel availability before each leg, and keep one operations picture across the whole cycle.
