The epidemic of infectious lung disease caused by coronavirus has become a worldwide concern. Viruses can be transmitted through contact with body fluids (such as coughing and sneezing). This makes this disease very contagious. The disease has spread to many other countries from the Chinese city of Wuhan in Province of Hubei.
In response to the Coronavirus pandemic, ICATT Air Ambulance Worldwide provides safe medical air transportation services for patients with COVID-19. If you or a loved one has tested positive for COVID-19 and requires a medical flight back home or to a health facility, we can provide the ICATT Air ambulance service you need while adhering to the strictest sanitation and safety guidelines.
ICATT Air Ambulance carefully maintained, and fully equipped aircraft are disinfected with machines after each flight and have the latest technology for infection control. These include the German isolation pod, which is also used by the U.S. military, and the U.S. Department of Health to create a hygienic environment for treating highly contagious patients.

ICATT COVID-19 Medical Air ambulance How It works?
This begins at the pick-up location, regardless of whether it is a hospital, patient residence, or any other place. We will send a ground ambulance and crew to pick up the patient; the team will take you to the plane through a private entrance to the airport reserved for private flights. The medical flight crew airlifts the patient into the air ambulance and flies with him to the final destination. Another team of ground ambulances will be waiting on arrival. Finally, the patient arrived safely and healthily at its final destination.
Depending on the situation, the medical team may decide to place the patient in a retention capsule such as the EpiShuttle, EpiGuard, or the German isolation pod.
This patient isolation device provides safe and comfortable medical transportation for patients and crew. Isolating a patient with an infectious disease recycles the airflow and contains a coronavirus-like infection ensures safety for flight crew and patients. Access to patient care is permitted through patient connections and medical connections. This isolation pod is also comfortable for the patient – with adjustable position and attachment for the flow of diet, water and other items.
Whatever the case, we’re here to help. You can always contact ICATT to discuss your concerns and questions about medical transportation.
Precautions are taken during COVID-19 patient transfer.
Specific policies and procedures to protect COVID-19 crew vary slightly from operator to operator, particularly at the location, access to PPE, and the facility’s direction. The most significant factor determining these differences comes from the organization of each service. At ICATT, when aviation services provide aircraft, pilots and mechanics, the service determines procedures for its staff. At the same time, medical facilities supervise medical staff procedures onboard about implementing public health protection procedures.
Due to the extensive collaboration between medical doctors, patients and helicopter operators, several proven prevention methods are taken by ICATT Air ambulance. The most common are the PPE requirements for the medical crew and pilots. Medical units and aircrews pilots wear full protective gowns, N95 masks, face shields, boots and gloves.
Other standard safety precautions taken with COVID-19 include plastic wrapping everything on the plane, making it easier to clean and disinfect whether it is wiped down or resealed. In some cases, ICATT air ambulances identify non-essential equipment that may have been left behind by the aircraft, reducing the volume of potentially exposed equipment and requiring disinfection.
Pilots who frequently assisted medical crews who remain in a cabin on planes and are distant from crew and patients at all times. Aircraft are also thoroughly disinfected after each transport before they can be put back into service. The medical crew disinfects the german isolation pod and aircraft while the pilot disinfects the cockpit.
