What Is an Air Ambulance?
Dehradun is Uttarakhand's capital and the gateway to the Garhwal Himalayas, serving as the air evacuation hub for Char Dham pilgrims evacuated from Kedarnath (3,583m), Badrinath (3,133m), Gangotri, and Yamunotri during the pilgrimage season. AIIMS Rishikesh, just 40 km from the airport, is one of North India's premier trauma and cardiac surgery centres, receiving patients from across Uttarakhand and the Kumaon hills. The 2013 Kedarnath floods that killed thousands underscored the critical role of Jolly Grant Airport as the emergency air medical lifeline for Himalayan disaster response. Our aircraft from Jolly Grant Airport (DED) (DED) carry ventilators, multipara monitors, defibrillators, and emergency drugs — ensuring uninterrupted critical care from pickup to handover at the destination hospital.
