North Carolina

Angel MedFlight is a leading provider of air ambulance services in North Carolina, offering compassionate, high-quality long distance patient transfers to and from healthcare facilities across the state, in another state, or in another country.

ICU-Level Care During Medical Flights

Angel MedFlight coordinates long-distance medical transportation on intensive-care capable medical jets staffed by a critical care nurse and a critical care paramedic on every flight. The clinical team can provide continuous monitoring, advanced life support, ventilator support, cardiac observation, and medication management throughout the transport process.

Angel MedFlight uses medically equipped jet aircraft and a dedicated clinical crew to ensure safe medical transport for critical care patients who need specialized treatment outside their immediate region.

This level of care is essential for patients with complex diagnoses such as traumatic brain injury, cardiac conditions, pulmonary distress, oncology needs, transplant evaluation, and other critical care situations. Angel MedFlight’s crews are trained in advanced cardiac life support, pediatric life support, respiratory therapy, and flight-specific medical certifications.

Medical Flights to or from North Carolina

A major advantage for families in North Carolina is personalized flight coordination tailored to each patient’s individual clinical and logistical needs. Angel MedFlight coordinates every step from bedside pickup at the origination hospital to coordinating with the receiving hospital.

This can include ground ambulance coordination in Raleigh, Charlotte, Greensboro, and other cities, ensuring a seamless transition between flight and local medical care. When you call Angel MedFlight, our team of experienced flight coordinators will ask a few questions to understand the situation and needs of the patient in order to develop a comprehensive medical flight plan with medical teams at both the origination and destination facilities.

The flight coordination team also works with insurance providers to research flight benefit eligibility, help arrange authorizations, and assist with navigating insurance coverage details to reduce stress on patients and families.

State to State and International Medical Flight Options

In addition to domestic air ambulance services, Angel MedFlight offers international medical transport coordination for patients in North Carolina who require care outside the United States or need to return home abroad. With a global reach of over 40 countries and service to all 50 states, Angel MedFlight can coordinate complex transfers involving multiple legs of travel.

By partnering with federally licensed Part 135 air carriers, Angel MedFlight delivers safe, rapid air medical transport wherever a runway with sufficient length is available. This enables transfers from facilities in Wilmington, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Durham, Asheville, and Winston-Salem to advanced specialty hospitals across the United States.

Air Ambulance Airports in North Carolina

Angel MedFlight can arrange air ambulance flights to major North Carolina airports including Raleigh–Durham International Airport (KRDU), Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT), and Cape Fear Regional Jetport (KSUT) near Southport. These airports serve as strategic hubs for medical transports into and out of the state. Because Angel MedFlight coordinates air ambulances on Learjets that are smaller than most commercial aircraft, we can also use smaller airports that might be more appropriate to where the patient is currently located.
