Air Search and Rescue Services, Aviation Links and Resources

Welcome to the Air Search and Rescue Services website. When a hiker gets lost in the woods, a rock climber gets stuck in a tricky spot or a skier gets caught in an avalanche, search and rescue are there to help. Thanks to government funding, they'll be there with a helicopter and a fairly strong medical set to each call. They try to combine the expertise of search and rescue and medical assistance to utilize the helicopter as the link between the two.

Our website

Our website hopes to promote the work they do, increase awareness, expand upon and learn best practices and keep lines of communication open between emergency rescue operations and the public they serve so well.

Search and Rescue

Time is a critical factor in successful search and rescue operations. Minutes mean the difference between life and death for victims in need of help. The RAF has a varied fleet of helicopters, aircraft light enough to ascend to high elevations and capable of manoeuvring to difficult-to-reach locations, putting rescue personnel and dogs on the ground quickly.

Rescue personnel ride on the helicopter to the search scene, where they will be unloaded. While the search is in progress, the helicopter returns to a base area and picks up medics who are ready when the victim is found. The helicopter then transports the patient, who is being treated en route, to the nearest hospital. Call us immediately with your Air Search and Rescue Service queries.

Welcome to the Air Search and Rescue Services website. We aim to promote the sterling work performed by the RAF search and rescue teams up and down the country, as well as providing a one stop portal for other aviation experiences for civilians, including private jet and helicopter charter for pleasure and luxury travel, executive air charter for all your corporate needs, and cargo charter for your freight transport requirements.
