Request a Flight
Angel Flight South Central's (AFSC) primary mission is to arrange free flights for patients requiring scheduled medical treatment not available to them locally. This can include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and a variety of other specialized therapies or surgeries. In addition, we will help patients travel for qualified second medical opinions recommended by their physician. Other humanitarian requests are considered on a case by case basis.
Angel Flight South Central does not require that a passenger meet financial guidelines to qualify for a flight, however we ask that our passengers demonstrate a compelling need before they ask for transportation, as each mission represents a significant cost to a volunteer pilot. Our pilots donate their time, aircraft, and all expenses involved to help people who otherwise would not be able to travel for medical treatment or for other compelling humanitarian reasons.
You will find all the forms you need available for download below. If you have further questions, please call our office toll free at 888-500-0433.
Note: We do not provide Air Ambulance or emergency rescue services

Follow-Up Request
If you've already taken your first Angel Flight, requesting another one is easy:
- Contact the referring person or agency who filled out your original paperwork (doctor, social worker). Ask them to fill out and fax the Follow-up Request Form (click here to download) to the AFSC office at (972) 858-5492.
- Once received, your paperwork will be reviewed and confirmed and we will attempt to schedule your flight.
- Hospitals and doctors’ offices can be very busy. Please follow up to make sure your paperwork has been completed and transmitted to AFSC. We cannot post your mission request to our volunteer pilots until we receive all of your completed paperwork.
