The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) is a registered charity based in the United Kingdom. It operates three aircraft, based in the North of England, providing emergency air ambulance services for this area, including North Yorkshire, the North-East, Cumbria and Scottish borders.

Operations

GNAAS operates three helicopters from its two bases at Langwathby (near Penrith) and Durham Tees Valley Airport. All three aircraft were introduced into service during 2010 and 2011 are owned by the charity, previous aircraft being leased. The three helicopters are Eurocopter Dauphin AS 365 N2s[1]{{Failed verification|date=January 2019}} G-NHAA, G-NHAB and G-NHAC. G-NHAC acts as a back-up helicopter, working from either of the two bases as and when required. All helicopters have full IFR capability, so are not as limited by poor weather and can fly outside daylight hours, but due to limited funding they do not operate in darkness.{{Citation needed|date=November 2018}}

Two of the three helicopters are named:

G-NHAA - Guardian of the North

G-NHAB - Pride of Cumbria

G-NHAC is yet to be named

In hours of darkness, when the helicopters do not fly, North East Ambulance Service funds a MERIT (Medical Emergency Response Incident Team),[2] which is staffed by a doctor and paramedic team from GNAAS.[3] The MERIT service extended in November 2018 to cover Thursday to Sunday Nights, which were previously covered on an on-call basis.[4]

In 2014/15 the organisation had operating costs of £4.6{{nbsp}}million and an income of £6.2{{nbsp}}million.[5]

In the media

From 8 March 2018, the charity appeared on Channel 4's TV programme Emergency Helicopter Medics, which followed the crews responding and treating emergency patients.[6] Other air ambulances that featured in the show include Thames Valley Air Ambulance and East Anglian Air Ambulance.
