We collect reports from families and patients who paid EMS Air Ambulance & Medical Repatriation Ltd. (ems-ambulance.com) and did not receive the service or their refund. Every report strengthens the case we put to police, regulators and lawyers, and helps organise a group claim.
Claimed in public Trustpilot reviews

Published with permission · anonymised
Real cases from people who paid EMS Air Ambulance for a flight that never came. We remove names and contact details and check that evidence was supplied before publishing.
We booked an air ambulance and paid in full, but EMS Air Ambulance never sent the aircraft. We later found out they didn't even have the aircraft they sold us. They kept our money and never refunded us.
Does this sound familiar?
These are the recurring complaints in public reviews of ems-ambulance.com. If your experience matches any of them, please file a report.

Payment is confirmed as received, then the flight or escort does not happen.
Weeks of requests for money back for a service that was not delivered.
New fees appear once money has been sent, with little documentation.
Transport handed to another operator without telling the patient or family.
Reviewers report letters from a “legal team” demanding they remove negative reviews.
