Airport Transfer Process
What is Airport Patient Transfer?
Airport ambulance service provides patient meet-and-greet and ambulance transfer synchronized with flight schedules at Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW). With crews experienced in airport procedures, the service covers in-terminal patient pickup, aircraft-side collection, and safe transfer to hospital or home.
Unlike standard ambulance service, airport ambulance requires special entry permits, flight tracking, and compliance with airport protocols.
About Airport Ambulance Service in Istanbul
Istanbul has two major airports serving millions of international passengers annually. Istanbul Airport (IST) operates on the European side, while Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) serves the Asian side. At Nova Ambulans, we provide patient meet-and-greet and ambulance transfer services at both airports.
Airport ambulance service requires different procedures from a standard ambulance call. Airport security permits, apron access documents, in-terminal stretcher transport coordination, and flight-synchronized scheduling are unique components of this service. Our crew is experienced in all these procedures.

We also handle airport transfers for international patients coming to Turkey for medical tourism. English-language communication support, foreign patient coordination, and pre-arrival communication with the destination hospital are standard parts of this service.
