Insurer profile
OAFA Ärzteflugambulanz GmbH
OAFA Ärzteflugambulanz GmbH is an Austrian company based in Vienna, founded in 1977 as a physician-led air ambulance and repatriation organisation for travellers abroad. It later built up an in-house travel insurance business; the actual medical flight-ambulance repatriation service was discontinued around 2019/2020, while the company continues to distribute travel insurance products (health, accident, luggage, liability and cancellation cover) whose underwriting risk is now carried by international insurance partners.

OAFA's underwriting risk was fully transferred to internationally active insurers some years ago, and the company's original medical air-ambulance repatriation service ended around 2019/2020 after almost 40 years, with management stating no in-house successor could be found; OAFA continues to operate as a travel-insurance distributor. No FMA sanctions specific to OAFA were found.
