About Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance

Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA)– saving and improving lives in every corner of Scotland, 365 days a year.

Since the service launched in 2013, the charity has responded to over 5,800 time-critical emergencies. As the country’s only charity-funded air ambulance service, SCAA relies entirely on public donations to fuel its life-saving flights that bring help and hope to those suffering serious injury or illness.

An integral part of Scotland’s frontline emergency response network, SCAA can reach 90% of Scotland’s population within 25 minutes, including remote and rural areas that are difficult to access by road, flying expert paramedic care to the scene and providing speedy onward transfer to specialist hospitals.
