- DHAKA – SINGAPORE · FAQ
Questions families ask first
Ask a coordinator directly, any time of day.
How much does an air ambulance from Dhaka to Singapore cost?
A dedicated air ambulance jet starts around BDT 45 lakh. A stretcher on a commercial flight starts around BDT 8.5 lakh, and a wheelchair with a medical escort around BDT 4 lakh. The final price depends on the patient’s condition, the aircraft and how soon you need to fly.
What is the cheapest way to take a patient to Singapore?
If the doctor agrees the patient can sit up, a wheelchair seat with a medical escort costs least. A stretcher on a commercial flight is the next step up. A private jet is only needed for critical patients.
How much is a Dhaka to Singapore air ticket for a patient?
A patient who can sit needs a normal seat plus an escort’s ticket. A stretcher takes the space of several seats, so the airline charges for all of them. We book this for you and include it in one price.
How long is the flight from Dhaka to Singapore?
About 4 hours 15 minutes non-stop, over roughly 2,900 km. An air ambulance jet takes about 4½ to 6 hours, depending on the aircraft and whether it needs a fuel stop on the way.
How soon can the patient fly?
Once the hospital accepts the patient and the visa is ready, a jet can usually leave within 48 to 72 hours. The visa is often the longest step, so start the paperwork early.
Does the patient need a Singapore visa?
Yes. Bangladeshi passport holders, including patients and attendants, need a Singapore visa. It is applied for through authorised agents in Dhaka and normally takes at least 5 working days.
Who flies with the patient?
On a jet, a doctor and an ICU nurse travel with a ventilator, cardiac monitor, defibrillator and oxygen. Usually one or two family members can fly along too, depending on the aircraft. Each needs a passport and a Singapore visa.
Can you bring the patient back from Singapore?
Yes. We arrange the return to Bangladesh after treatment, with the same medical care on board and an ambulance to the hospital or home.
