How it
WORKS
Angel Flight South Central’s volunteer pilots donate their time, aircraft, and the cost of the flight to help people travel for medical treatment and care or other humanitarian reasons. Our pilots are able to meet passengers at regional airports close to home and bring them to their final destination. Passengers are able to avoid lengthy drives to commercial airports, long lines at TSA, and long-term parking costs at the airport.
Angel Flight South Central does not require passengers to meet specific financial conditions. However, we do ask our passengers to demonstrate a compelling need for the flight, as each mission represents a significant cost to a volunteer pilot.
Free
MEDICAL FLIGHTS
Angel Flight South Central provides free air transportation for ambulatory passengers requiring non-emergency medical treatments, surgeries, and critical care appointments. We do not provide air ambulance or emergency rescue services. Please note that our volunteer pilots are not medically trained and unable to provide medical support.
