Midlands Air Ambulance Charity (MAAC) operates and funds three air ambulances covering six Midlands counties including Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and the West Midlands.

Each year it costs £13-14 million to maintain the three aircrafts 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. The charity does not receive funding from the Government or National Lottery for its daily missions so relies entirely on the support and generosity of local people and businesses.

Since 1991, the charity has responded to more than 72,000 missions, making us one of the busiest air ambulance services in the UK.

The service operates from strategically located regional airbases at Cosford in Shropshire, Strensham on the Worcestershire/Gloucestershire border and Tatenhill in Staffordshire. Each aircraft carries a crew comprising a pilot, two paramedics or a paramedic and flight doctor, plus full life support medical equipment. Three rapid response vehicles are deployed when the helicopters are unable to fly, due to bad weather for example.

In addition, the charity has a fleet of critical care cars, which operate between 7 a.m. until 2 a.m. daily by critical care paramedics.

Every second counts in an emergency and on average, our crew arrive on scene within ten minutes, whether by air ambulance or in one of our critical care cars.

The charity responds to some of the most traumatic incidents including cardiac arrests, road traffic collisions and sports injuries. The aircraft reaches remote locations to attend to patients unreachable by land ambulance.
