The new base will be purpose-built to reflect the exceptional facilities already established at the YAA's Nostell Air Support Unit near Wakefield and will create a dedicated, long-term base for the northern region.

Yorkshire Air Ambulance has added a third helicopter to its fleet in the form of an H145 D3. The aircraft boasts features that will benefit patients in the region. It will serve more than five million residents and visitors.

YAA intends to build a new base in Skipton-on-Swale to support more emergency air medical services across Yorkshire.
