​

While AIG Travel Guard does not operate its own air ambulances, its core benefits related to air ambulance services center on coordinating and financing emergency medical evacuations and repatriations for its clients' members.

General benefits of air ambulance services

​

The benefits of air ambulance services, in general, include:

• Speed: Air ambulances can transport patients rapidly over long distances, which is critical during emergencies like heart attacks, strokes, or traumatic injuries.

• Accessibility: They can reach remote or difficult-to-access areas that ground ambulances cannot, such as mountainous regions or disaster zones.

• Specialized medical care: Air ambulances function as flying intensive care units (ICUs), staffed by highly trained medical personnel with advanced life support equipment to provide continuous, high-level care in flight.

• Patient outcomes: By reducing transport time and providing expert medical care en route, air ambulances significantly improve survival rates and patient outcomes in time-sensitive situations.
