"The three flew aboard a Hawaiian Airlines flight after it was decided the child born Jan. 25 didn't require an air ambulance. It was also determined he could ride in a private car that was waiting curbside, instead of an ambulance, from the airport to the hospital, Fried said."

Unless this information is inaccurate, it sounds like an air ambulance could have been an option, but was decided against.
Apparently, there was also no ambulance waiting to take the child to the hospital.
