We believe that safe, long-distance air transfers within the UK should be available for any child needing one, regardless of distance or cost. As part of the air ambulance network, we are the only charity in the UK that offers transfers by aeroplane which means that:

• We can cover the whole of the UK to transfer children over long distances and across regions.
• We can fly in a wider range of weather conditions meaning that our flights are less likely to be postponed.
• Our pressurized cabins can support children with breathing difficulties.
• We can fly at sea level to ensure less pressure on a child’s brain.
• Our aircraft can provide an infection-free environment for children post-surgery.
• Aeroplanes are also less subject to noise and vibration and therefore over longer distances are often a safer and more comfortable environment for children, especially premature babies.
• There is always space for parents to accompany their child which we know is so important during such a difficult time for families.
