Capital Air Ambulance

Capital Air Ambulance, based in the UK, specializes in urgent medical repatriation services, ensuring swift and safe transport for critically ill patients across Europe and beyond. Founded in 1986 in Exeter, UK, Capital Air Ambulance provides essential air ambulance services for patients. The firm has undergone strategic changes to enhance its operations but operates independently. The company was involved in 2 deals, with the most recent deal on June 10, 2025, when Gama Aviation Plc acquired Capital Air Charter Limited.

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Capital Air Ambulance offers rapid response medical repatriation services, focusing on bed-to-bed transport for urgent medical cases, customized medical escort packages on commercial flights, and patient transfers. Their clientele includes individuals and families needing urgent care and institutions requiring efficient hospital transfers. Their operations are based primarily at Bristol Airport, serving various regions including Europe and the Middle East, and they employ a skilled medical team with expertise in both adult and pediatric care.

In the most recent financial year, 2019, Capital Air Ambulance generated a revenue of USD 11. 77 mn, with an EBITDA of USD -1. 33 mn, indicating the challenges faced in maintaining profitability in their specialized service sector. With the recent acquisition by Gama Aviation Plc in July 2025, Capital Air Ambulance plans to expand its air ambulance services in the UK by increasing its fleet and medical teams.

This strategic move is aimed at enhancing operational capacity and service delivery within the region. The infusion of resources from the acquisition will support these growth initiatives.
