About the air ambulance

London's Air Ambulance reaches critically injured patients via helicopter from 08:00 to sunset, and rapid response cars at night or in adverse weather conditions.

Via our vehicles, we are able to deliver care to the standard of the hospital emergency department, bringing the hospital to the patient.

London is one of the world's busiest, most complicated airspaces. We have unique privileges in London's airspace, with priority over all other air traffic when on an emergency medical call.

We only airlift a small number of our patients to hospital; our aim is to get to the scene as quickly as possible to provide treatment there and then.
