Yorkshire Air Ambulance is an independent charity providing a lifesaving rapid response emergency service to 5 million people across the whole of Yorkshire.

To keep both of our air ambulance helicopters maintained and in the air, we need to raise £19,000 every single day. The generosity that we receive really is the lifeblood of our Charity.

Mission Statement

To provide, deliver and develop with integrity, transparency and pride, state-of-the-art emergency response air ambulances for the protection of human life across Yorkshire and its environs.

Chairman, Yorkshire Air Ambulance

A service that provides State-of-the-art Emergency Care

The Charity was set up in 2000 and with the addition of the second air ambulance in 2007, YAA now operate our own Dedicated Air Desk for rapid dispatch of their helicopters to an incident.

The swift medical interventions provided by the air ambulance crews have a major impact on a patient’s chance of survival and subsequent quality of life.

Fast Medical Response

Yorkshire has a vast topography that not only includes remote, rural and densely populated areas but also includes major motorways and road networks such as the M62, M1, A1 and M18.

On average, dispatch time is around 2 to 3 minutes and patients are transferred to the nearest major trauma centre, flying at speeds of up to 160 mph.
