Air ambulances in Canada
Air ambulance services in Canada are typically operated by third parties including NGOs and private contractors working on behalf of a provincial health authority, with a mix of fixed wing and rotary wing/HEMS fleets in use. The two largest providers are Ornge Air Ambulance in Ontario, which operates 12 bases across the province, and STARS Air Ambulance, which operates 6 bases across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.
