• From: Department for Transport and Maritime and Coastguard Agency

Following user feedback, we have discontinued a number of tables. All of the data previously published in these tables can be found in Table SARH0112.

Changes to these statistics

The department is reviewing the frequency of the search and rescue helicopter statistical series and is proposing to reduce it from two publications a year to one annual release in the summer. The next biannual statistics release for April to September 2021 will not be impacted by this review, and will still be released.

We welcome any feedback from users on the proposed new timings (including any negative impact of the reduced frequency) and presentation of the statistics.
