During the lockdown, all other airlines were grounded but MAB Aviation was extremely busy flying medical patients (non-COVID-19) across the country. It serves patients like cancer, surgeries, recovery, pregnant women, newborns, critical care, etc.
Arvind Jadhav, CEO of MAB Aviation, said, “The COVID-19 situation is now the ‘New Normal’. We need to learn to live with its effects around us for years to come.”
Going forward, the non-COVID-19 patients will be in too much distress as the entire focus is on COVID-19 patients. The percentage of normal patients with medical conditions is huge and these patients will feel helpless to get timely and better healthcare. Patients will now be extremely cautious to travel for better healthcare facilities; they will prefer Air to land/train transfer. Tier 1 & 2 cities will have the highest demand for Air Ambulance transfer service.
“MedicalFlight” is the Air Ambulance Brand. Currently, 2 aircrafts are in service and in the process of inducting 2 new CJ-II Jets. The brand visualizes an aircraft in ready-to-fly condition deployed at every 500 km across India. Over 10 medical configuration Aircrafts will be acquired in a phased induction schedule over the next 2 years. It has a 24*7 call centre setup managing service requests for medical transfers.
The brand aims to build a strong ‘Franchisee Network’ effectively covering all Airport base across the nation to promote the service and offer a business opportunity to generate additional revenue/income. It is further eyeing to build tie-ups with at least 70+ hospitals across India to provide teams of specialist doctors on the go.

MAB Aviation wants to bring a big change in the Air Ambulance business landscape and wants to be the first brand in the country to onboard ‘Franchise Partners’ to tap the virgin aeromedical transport market.
