The Essex Air Ambulance was launched in 1998 to serve the people of Essex.

• The aircraft carries a highly skilled crew of Doctors and Paramedics and sophisticated life-saving equipment to a patient within the first few vital minutes of an emergency. 
• The Air Ambulance has flown over 10,000 missions.
• It costs around £250,000 per month to cover all charitable costs and aircraft operations.
• Unlike other NHS emergency services, Essex Air Ambulance is a Charity providing a free Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) for critically ill patients. We rely solely upon the generosity and goodwill of the people and businesses of Essex to remain operational and keep saving lives.
