Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) is beginning its tenth year of mercy flights and a look back at data from last year shows 2022 was the busiest year ever.
Sadly, the new figures also point to serious road accidents in Scotland becoming ever more frequent.
Using both helicopter air ambulances and rapid response vehicles at both Perth and Aberdeen airport bases, SCAA has seen a sharp increase in the number of emergency call-outs to road traffic collisions – there were 187 last year.
