Jet Fuel is Up - Air Ambulance Card Prices Stay the Same

The price of jet fuel has increased 68% in the past 6 months. 68%! An air ambulance flight from Europe that would have cost $70,000 a couple of years ago would cost $90,000 today. A recent transport from Jacksonville to Cincinatti cost about $8000 (The Air Ambulance Card member didn't pay a dime more than his annual membership fee.) That same flight would have cost about $4500 in 2006.

This makes Air Ambulance Card memberships more valuable than ever. Without these memberships, travelers must pay for these costly flights up front, in cash before they board the plane. Who has access to that kind of cash at a moment's notice? Air Ambulance Card not only provides travelers the peace of mind of knowing they have the option of being treated in their home hospital, they have a considerable financial protection... and their prices haven't gone up in 5 years. Now that's a good deal.
