In the fast-paced world of technology, it is hard to imagine that air medical missions are coordinated using manual methods – relying on emails, phone calls, and even faxes. These fragmented workflows can result in inefficient operations and delays in delivering critical care. The absence of real-time visibility into provider availability and aircraft positioning forces medical teams to depend on time-consuming processes to identify the right aircraft for a mission. Moreover, patient and mission data are often handled through insecure processes, compromising GDPR and compliance. As a result, leadership struggles to manage costs effectively, frequently expending more time and resources than necessary.

Avinode, the leading technology provider in the business aviation sector, is proud to announce the development of its new Air Ambulance Platform. Designed to digitalise medical missions’ planning and management, this digital solution transforms the air ambulance industry by enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs for medical assistance companies and air ambulance providers globally.

A Seamless Connection for Critical Missions

With over 20 years of experience in the business aviation industry, Avinode has built a platform streamlining the coordination between air ambulance operators and medical assistance companies by providing real-time visibility into provider availability, aircraft location, and mission status. This enhanced connectivity enables faster, more accurate mission planning and execution while reducing operational costs. With over 180 vetted air ambulance operators and more than 430 active aircraft integrated into the system, selecting the optimal provider for any mission is more efficient and dependable than ever.

“We’re thrilled to bring our technology expertise to the air ambulance sector,” said Per Marthinsson, Co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Avinode Group. “Our platform offers a powerful, user-friendly solution that simplifies the complexities of mission planning and coordination, helping companies provide lifesaving services more efficiently.”

In 2024, more than 765 air ambulance missions were searched and requested via Avinode, with over 440 missions successfully scheduled and completed. What once took operators up to 20 minutes to prepare – a simple quote – can now be done in seconds.

Innovative Features for Streamlined Operations

The platform includes a host of advanced features, such as:

• Real-Time Provider Availability: To ensure the best match for each mission, data on provider locations, aircraft readiness, and availability is available in real time.
• Cost-Effective Solutions: Optimizing workflow and highlighting opportunities for empty-leg flights and pooling, reducing operational costs while increasing sustainability.
• Smart Quoting: Powerful filtering tools and instant response capabilities allow operators to provide quotes in seconds, accelerating the mission planning process.
• Integrated Communication Tools: Seamless communication channels between operators and assistance companies through in-system chat capabilities.

Shaping the Future of Medical Aviation

As the demand for air ambulance services grows worldwide, the new platform will address the industry’s key challenges, particularly cost pressures and logistical complexities. By streamlining communication, improving data accessibility, and offering advanced tools for mission management, Avinode is positioning itself as a critical partner in the future of medical aviation.

“Our goal is to help medical assistance companies and air ambulance providers navigate the fast-paced world of medical aviation with greater ease and efficiency,” added Per Marthinsson. “This platform is designed to support their vital work by offering the technology they need to thrive.”
