How it works

Fit to fly, escorted home

To be eligible, a patient needs to be cleared as fit to fly on a commercial flight with a medical escort. Most airlines can accommodate medical and mobility devices onboard. Reach out with any questions about whether a case qualifies.

What's included

Our services

  • Global services. Comprehensive medical repatriation, worldwide.
  • Case management. We review records, confirm fitness to fly, and build a care plan with daily check-ins until departure.
  • Expert medical team. DC-based physicians and escorts, equipped for the full journey, from vitals monitoring to wound care.
  • Specialist network. Neurosurgery, orthopedics, or any of 50+ specialties, added to the team when a case calls for it.
  • 24/7/365 operational hub. The WECC tracks every repatriation start to finish and keeps family and colleagues updated.
  • Operational readiness. We mobilize on short notice and fly the clinical escort to the patient.
  • Customized solutions. Every repatriation is tailored to the patient's medical, cultural, and personal needs.
  • Cost effective. A commercial-flight escort costs a fraction of an air ambulance.
