What special services do Medical Aviation Services provide?

To respond effectively to medical emergencies, and deliver care to patients in time to make a real difference, ambulance services need to retain 100 per cent confidence that their air assets are ready to go - and fully operational. MAS' crews deliver that confidence around the UK, every single day of the year.

Simply stated, MAS supplies outstanding aviation resources to its customers, through the skills of its pilots and engineers and the excellent operational performance of its equipment.

At any moment during the day, teams of pilots and engineers are on duty at a dozen locations around the country. Some of them will be already airborne, perhaps at the site of a major road accident, helping to deliver first aid or getting casualties to hospital A&E units, in time to benefit from the all-important Golden Hour following an accident. Others will be standing by to respond to such a call. All will be alert with a helicopter ready to fly.
