Medical Air Transport Services
All services available 24/7 from Kolkata
Kolkata serves as the critical relay point for Northeast India's medical air evacuations. Patients from Guwahati, Shillong, Imphal, and Aizawl are first flown or driven to Kolkata, then transferred on ICU jets to Delhi AIIMS, Mumbai Nanavati, or Hyderabad Apollo. Common trauma cases include road accidents on NH27, major burns from Durgapur industrial zones, and high-complexity surgical cases from Siliguri. Response time from NSCBI Airport is approximately 80 minutes for critical ICU dispatch.
