A Commitment to Air Medical Excellence
An urgent call is received in the middle of the night from the U.S. Coast Guard requesting assistance with the rescue of a critically injured passenger aboard a sailboat in a remote Caribbean port. These calls may be commonplace today, however over 30 years ago it was one of National's first medevac flights. Soon thereafter National helped to formulate what are now Florida’s Air Ambulance Regulations and in 1976 received the State’s 1st Air Ambulance License.
Today, National Air Ambulance is still owned by the same family with the support of its parent corporation, National Jets Inc, whose roots in aviation date back to the 1940’s.
National routinely flies within South, Central, North American and the Caribbean with their base of operations located on Fort Lauderdale International Airport.
Medevac flight experience is second to none with over 34 years operating air ambulance flights. National’s commitment to excellence in patient care makes them the carrier of choice for Individuals, Travel Insurance Assistance Companies, Prominent Specialty Hospitals, Cruise Lines, and Government Agencies.
Each transport begins with Flight Specialists answering inquiries and arranging for medevacs 24 hours a day, every day of the year. You will never reach an answering service, National is not a broker, they are the actual air ambulance operator.
Once a flight is confirmed by you, National's Medical Director conducts a medical consultation / triage with the patient’s treating physician to assess the the patient's condition and determine the configuration of the medical team and equipment to be utilized.
National’s medical flight services include complete beside to bedside care whereby the medical team arrive at the patient’s bedside to transfer care for the transport. National arranges every detail of the transport including the ground ambulances to and from the airports, assistance in admitting the patient into a receiving hospital, customs and flight clearances, and coordinating with family members throughout the transport.
 
At 40,000 feet the Medical Flight Crews make the difference and is why National uses ER Board-Certified Doctors, Critical Care/ER Flight Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, and First Response Paramedics, all who are Aero-physiology Certified.
 
ALS medical equipment includes the latest such as the Phillips HeartStart MRx ALS Monitors, Univent Eagle Ventilators, Baxter and IVAC Infusion Pumps, Trauma Stabilization Devices.
The right aircraft when time matters could not be more important. National owns its fleet of 5, long-range, Learjet 35A’s which allows for direct flights with faster low-stress transfers. National uses their own aircraft, Captains and First Officers, and Part 135 FAA Air Carrier Certificate (Lic # JKIA235F). They do not rely on third party aircraft operators to conduct their flights. Being self sufficient allows National to always know their availability and can quickly react to an urgent medevac flight. Aircraft are also maintained at National’s owned and operated FAA licensed maintenance facility located at their base on Ft. Lauderdale International Airport. All aircraft ALS equipped for critical and trauma care transports and can accommodate the patient plus one to two family members.
 
Being safe and secure is part of National’s award winning air ambulance service. National was awarded AAMS Safety Award for over 5,000 consecutive transports without incident. Not only is National licensed by the F.A.A., DOT, DOD, US Treasury Department, HRS and the State of Florida, but flights are also safety certified and audited by ARG/US, are “Gold” safety-rated, and is a member of EURAMI. National carries $50 million in Aircraft Liability and $3 Million in Professional Medical Malpractice Insurance.
