For emergencies in remote locations, river deltas, or regions lacking runway infrastructure, our helicopter air ambulance services land directly at the scene and transport patients straight to hospital helipads.

Bangladesh's unique geography — characterized by extensive river systems, floodplains, and remote islands (chars) — presents major challenges for traditional ground and fixed-wing transport. When a patient is located in a remote area like Saint Martin's Island, the Chittagong Hill Tracts, or rural char lands, helicopter evacuation is often the only viable option. Helicopters provide unparalleled access. They do not require a runway; they can land on open fields, sandbars, highway junctions, or factory premises. Most importantly, helicopters can land directly on the helipads of leading hospitals in Dhaka (such as Square or Evercare Hospital), bypassing the notorious metropolitan traffic and saving critical minutes. Helicopter transports are ideal for rapid evacuations of tourists, NGO workers in remote zones, and industrial workers on offshore projects. The helicopters are fitted with compact medical stretchers, oxygen systems, and basic monitoring equipment to support the patient until arrival.

What to Prepare Before Calling

Please gather as many of these documents/details as possible to fast-track your dispatch:

GPS coordinates or detailed landmarks of the landing site

Visual confirmation that the landing area is clear of power lines, trees, and loose debris

Local security or ground contact to secure the landing zone

Attending paramedic report or basic patient vitals

Confirmation of daylight hours (helicopter operations are daylight-only)

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can a medical helicopter land?+

A helicopter requires a flat, firm area of at least 100x100 feet, free of overhead wires, tall trees, or loose debris. Examples include fields, parking lots, school grounds, or factory yards.

Can helicopters fly at night?+

In Bangladesh, helicopter flights are restricted to daylight hours (from sunrise to sunset) due to civil aviation regulations and visibility requirements for landing in unprepared zones.

What is the range of a medical helicopter?+

Helicopters have a shorter range than fixed-wing planes, typically up to 150-200 km without refueling. For longer distances, a fixed-wing transfer is recommended.
