THE Wiltshire Air Ambulance remains grounded by the Civil Aviation Authority while the charity waits for its own Air Operators Certificate to be awarded.
Despite successful flight inspections in August, the delay has cost the charity thousands of pounds to hire a back-up helicopter.
The WAA has been left "extremely frustrated" by the wait but is still responding to medical emergencies using its own rapid response vehicles.
