Wales Air Ambulance
SAVING TIME - SAVING LIVES
service through emergency air cover for those who face life-threatening illness or injuries. The service is vital to Wales with its widely scattered population, many in remote and isolated communities far from an A & E hospital.
The first dedicated Wales Air Ambulance was launched on March 1, 2001 from its base at Swansea Airport. Since then it has flown more than 1,500 life-saving missions and transported more than 600
patients to hospital.
The service is provided seven days a week during daylight hours.
On July 1, 2003, the second Wales Air Ambulance commenced its
duties from Caernarfon airport. Originally a five-day service this was increased to a 7-day service in November 2003.
The cost of running two air ambulances each year is in excess of
£1.5m, and funding is totally reliant on charitable donations.
