Cornwall Air Ambulance has always had one goal: to preserve life. But the way they pursue that goal has transformed beyond recognition over the decades.
From the moment their first BO 105 helicopter lifted off in 1987, every step forward has been driven by an unshakeable commitment to saving lives. Today, their cutting-edge AW169 helicopter operates as an airborne A&E — packed with advanced medical technology and ready to deliver critical care wherever it's needed most.
Being the UK's first air ambulance service isn't just a milestone to be proud of — it's a standard to live up to. And they do, every single day.
It's stories like theirs that remind us why what we do matters. Because whether care arrives by air or on foot, the moments before help lands are the ones that count most. That's why we believe first aid training isn't optional — it's essential.

"Our pride and joy, we purchased the AW169 air ambulance helicopter in 2020 to evolve our operational capabilities. This helicopter is faster, more powerful and capable of reaching even more people in their hour of need".
