About Us
Covering a vast 3 million acres and serving nearly 5 million people, Yorkshire Air Ambulance is a vital lifeline for one of Englad’s most diverse and expansive counties.
With a cutting-edge fleet of air ambulance helicopters and two fully equipped Rapid Response Vehicles (RRVs), we’re ready to respond in a heartbeat. Operating from our strategically located air support units at The Nostell Priory Estate near Wakefield and RAF Topcliffe near Thirsk, we have the skies covered.
Clocking speeds of up to 160 mph, our aircraft can reach 90% of Yorkshire in just 20 minutes – bringing emergency medical care to those who need it most, faster than ever. Whether it’s the remote Dales or the bustling cities, we’re always just minutes away.
