Medical Air Transport Services
All services available 24/7 from Dehradun
Dehradun is Uttarakhand air ambulance headquarters. Mountain emergencies — trekking accidents, high-altitude pulmonary oedema, altitude sickness, and river rafting trauma near Rishikesh — constitute the majority of cases. Kedarnath season sees a surge in helicopter medical deployments: 11,000+ visitors daily, limited road access, and high cardiac event rates due to exertion at 3,583m altitude. AIIMS Rishikesh (40 km from Jolly Grant) has significantly increased Uttarakhand in-state capacity; outbound cases go to Delhi AIIMS (45 minutes) for neuro and cardiac super-specialty. Response time from Jolly Grant Airport is approximately 55 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions — Dehradun Air Ambulance
How close is Dehradun to Delhi for air ambulance transfers?+
Jolly Grant Airport is just 30–40 minutes by air from Delhi. This makes Dehradun one of the fastest air ambulance corridors in India — a critical advantage for trauma, stroke, and cardiac emergencies from Uttarakhand.
Can AIIMS Rishikesh patients be transferred by air ambulance to Delhi?+
Yes. AIIMS Rishikesh is an excellent hospital, but for cases requiring hyper-specialist care, we coordinate onward air transfers to AIIMS Delhi, Medanta, or Fortis Gurugram within minutes.
How does winter affect air ambulance operations from Dehradun?+
Jolly Grant Airport operates year-round. In winter when mountain roads are blocked by snow, air ambulance becomes the only viable option for patients in Uttarkashi, Chamoli, Tehri, and other hill districts. We maintain winter readiness protocols.
Can air ambulance reach Kedarnath or Badrinath?+
Helicopter ambulance can reach close to Kedarnath and Badrinath helipads during the trekking season. Patients are then transferred to Jolly Grant by helicopter and onward by fixed-wing to Delhi or specialist centres.
What is the air ambulance cost from Dehradun?+
Air ambulance from Dehradun to Delhi costs ₹1–1.5 lakhs for BLS class due to the short distance. ICU-equipped flights range from ₹2–4 lakhs. Contact us for exact pricing.
