Medical & Emergency Evacuation
One call. We move you while everyone else waits.
When a place becomes unsafe, a crisis, a medical emergency, a border closing, the difference between a good outcome and a bad one is whether the plan already exists. Ashenden's evacuation capability is built in advance, so the answer to “get me out” is movement, not a promise to try.
We work from pre-positioned teams and independent transport, private aviation, ground convoy, medical networks, rather than a call centre coordinating strangers. A dedicated analyst holds the live picture: airspace, borders, threats, and the fastest safe way through.
It runs end to end: the decision to move, the route, the care in transit, the documentation, and the reunification of a family on the far side, planned as one, held by one office.
Held to one standard, end to end.
Pre-positioned extraction teams
On-ground presence in key regions, not remote coordination of unknowns.
Private aviation & ground networks
Independent transport for when commercial options collapse.
Medical evacuation
Air ambulance, trauma coordination and hospital transfer, planned in.
24/7 live coordination
A dedicated analyst holding airspace, border and threat intelligence in real time.
Documentation & border support
Crossings, visas and paperwork handled under pressure.
Reunification & shelter-in-place
Bringing people together, or holding them safely when leaving isn't yet possible.
- Principals and families in higher-risk regions
- Organisations with expatriate or travelling staff
- Family offices managing household risk
- Anyone who needs a plan before they need it
- Is this a retainer, or can we call you in a crisis?
- Both. A standing retainer keeps assets pre-positioned and a named coordinator ready; we also take on-demand activations, though a plan made in advance is always faster and safer than one improvised mid-crisis.
- What makes this different from travel-insurance evacuation cover?
- Insurance coordinates third parties after the fact. We hold our own pre-positioned teams and independent transport, act on a committed basis, and keep the whole operation confidential; extraction happens while others are still arranging it.
- Do you handle medical emergencies, not just security ones?
- Yes. Medical evacuation, air ambulance, trauma coordination and hospital transfer, is core to the service, whether the trigger is a security event or a health crisis.
