Midlands Air Ambulance is responsible for funding and operating three air ambulance helicopters and two critical care cars serving the communities of six Midlands counties: Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, the West Midlands and Worcestershire. This constitutes the largest air ambulance operating region in the UK. We also also provide secondary cover to surrounding areas, such as Warwickshire and Mid Wales.

Since 1991, Midlands Air Ambulance has responded to more than 66,000 missions, making us one of the longest established and busiest air ambulance organisations in the UK. Each year it costs in excess of £10 million to maintain the three aircraft and the provision of a lifesaving service. Each air ambulance mission costs an average of £2,950. Each critical care car mission costs £288 on average. As we do not receive funding from the Government for our daily missions, we rely entirely on the support and generosity of local people and businesses.
