London Biggin Hill Airport is proud to announce the arrival of its first dedicated air ambulance, marking a significant milestone in its aviation and healthcare offerings. Operated by SkyCare Repatriation the advanced Pilatus PC-12 NGX air ambulance is set to provide critical care transport for health services, insurance providers and self-funding patients. While the PC-12 NGX will primarily serve missions across Europe, SkyCare’s comprehensive operations ensure medical repatriations are available worldwide, connecting patients with the care they need wherever they are.

In addition to the air ambulance, SkyCare Repatriation also operates ground ambulances based at London Biggin Hill Airport, providing seamless medical transportation solutions on the ground to complement its air services.

Robert Walters, Commercial Director at London Biggin Hill Airport, commented: “With London recognised as a global hub for medical excellence, we’re delighted to welcome SkyCare Repatriation and its PC-12 NGX air ambulance to the airport. The PC-12 is an exceptional choice for air ambulance missions, combining versatility, reliability, and efficiency. By basing its operations at London Biggin Hill, SkyCare will benefit from our extensive network of resident companies, including an on-site Pilatus service centre. We’re excited to see this aircraft in action, supporting vital missions and providing life-saving services.”

SkyCare Repatriation, part of the BM Ambulance Group, has over a decade of experience in medical repatriations and operates a fleet of 60 ground ambulances. The company’s expansion into air ambulance services solidifies its commitment to delivering world-class medical care and transport solutions across Europe and worldwide.
