Newquay Airport - Search and Rescue Base

A new era for the UKs search and rescue (SAR) helicopter operations began January 1, 2016, when the Newquay SAR base commenced operations, bringing military involvement to an end from RNAS Culdrose. Bristow Helicopters Ltd is operating the search and rescue helicopter service for the UK on behalf of HM Coastguard.

The UK limited company was awarded the ten-year UK SAR contract by the Department for Transport in March 2013, representing a 1.9bn Pound investment by the Government in the UKs search and rescue helicopter service.

By 2017 the service will be delivered from ten bases in all, strategically located close to areas of high SAR incident rates.
