Jet Rescue Air ambulance has been providing Mexico with professional air ambulance services since its inception.

In 2008 Jet Rescue Air Ambulance decided to open 2 air ambulance bases in Mexico to provide our American and Canadian corporate clients and tourists with exceptional inflight medical care but at the same time reducing response time to popular tourist destinations like: Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Huatulco, Cancun, Acapulco, Ixtapa and Mexico City. Each Base is staffed with highly trained Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics. At each base Jet Rescue Air Ambulance has a Learjet 35-A Jet Ambulance.

In 2009 Jet Rescue Air Ambulance expanded its scope of services adding a Medevac Helicopter in Toluca, Mexico as well as 10 ground ambulances scattered in Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta and Mexico City.

Mexico has changed a lot since then; Violence has dramatically increased due to an intense war among drug cartels.

This violence is not directed to the general population or tourists.

Nevertheless if you are travelling to Mexico you must take some precautions. Please follow these Mexico street-sense Tips:

• Avoid travelling on highways at night.
• Avoid Non-Toll roads if possible.
