The on-board consultants and critical care practitioners are highly skilled and carry some of the most pioneering medical equipment in the world, delivering blood transfusions, administering anaesthesia and undertaking emergency operations at the scene of the incident before flying the patient directly to specialist care.
The charity has completed over 43,000 missions and is on standby 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
A spokesman for Arthurs Motor Group said: "Arthurs are great supporters of local charities and we recognise the importance of having such an incredibly important service available across our local towns, cities and rural areas of the country.
"With one of the airbases based in Welshpool - it’s not far away. The Wales Air Ambulance is critical, and most importantly, they can and do save lives."
