When every second counts, access to life-saving care can’t wait for a boat or a commercial flight. That’s why Trinity Ambulance is proud to announce the upcoming launch of Paradise AirLift — the first and only dedicated air ambulance helicopter service based in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Launching soon from St. Thomas, Paradise AirLift will bring a new era of rapid medical response and critical care transport across the territory and neighboring islands.
✈️ A New Lifeline for the Virgin Islands
Until now, patients in the Virgin Islands facing critical illness or injury often waited hours for fixed-wing aircraft or off-island assistance. Paradise AirLyft changes that.
With a helicopter based right here in St. Thomas, our team will provide immediate medical evacuation to higher-level care facilities across:
🏝 St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix
🇻🇮 British Virgin Islands (BVI)
✈️ San Juan, Puerto Rico
Whether it’s a trauma, stroke, cardiac emergency, or neonatal transfer, Paradise AirLift ensures time-critical access to the right care — faster than ever before.
💉 Fully Equipped. Professionally Staffed.
Paradise AirLift will operate a medically equipped helicopter, staffed with:
🧑⚕️ Critical care paramedics and flight nurses
🏥 Advanced life support (ALS) equipment
💓 Monitors, ventilators, IV pumps, oxygen systems
📡 Real-time communication with receiving hospitals
Each mission will deliver hospital-level care in the sky, bridging the gap between remote emergencies and definitive treatment.
🕒 Why This Matters: Every Minute Counts
In emergency medicine, time is life.
🚨 A stroke patient’s chance of recovery drops each minute treatment is delayed.
❤️ Heart attack victims need rapid intervention within the “golden hour.”
🚑 Trauma patients on outer islands often face transport delays.
Paradise AirLyft eliminates those barriers by offering direct, high-speed access from the scene to the hospital — no ferry, no waiting, no compromise.
🌴 Built by Locals, for Locals
This isn’t an outside company dropping in.Paradise AirLift is part of the Trinity family — locally owned, locally operated, and dedicated to the health and safety of our Virgin Islands community.
With deep partnerships across hospitals, EMS agencies, and emergency responders, our mission is simple:
To ensure every resident and visitor has access to world-class medical transport — anywhere, anytime.
🔗 Integrated with Trinity Ambulance
Paradise AirLyft will work seamlessly with Trinity’s full-service ground ambulance network, offering a complete transport system:
