Free Flights for Medical Reasons

If you or a family member are diagnosed with an illness or condition requiring medical care at a distant hospital, Angel Flight is here for you. No matter the number of trips needed; our team supports patients every step of the way through the entire health journey.

Free flights for medical reasons | Angel Flight NE

Angel Flight NE’s extensive network of volunteer pilots provides free flights for medical reasons to patients across the U.S. Our compassionate volunteers donate their time, planes, and fuel to ensure distance is never an obstacle for patients to access medical care.

Through partnerships with commercial aviation partners, JetBlue and Cape Air, we arrange free air transportation when general aviation is not an option. There is never a charge for these services.

Patients and family members turn to AFNE after receiving a life-impacting diagnosis requiring specialized medical care outside their geographic area.

Often, a patient or family is experiencing financial constraints prohibiting them using commercial flights. Other patients have a compromised immune system so flying commercially could further impact their health.

Whether it is one flight or hundreds of flights, the Angel Flight NE team is here to help!  We work with patients, family members, and medical teams. Our volunteers in the air and on the ground and many others join us to ensure that transportation for your healthcare journey is made possible and you can focus on what is important – Getting Well!

We also partner with national & international organizations who are focused on particular diseases and/or diagnosis.  Our goal is to ensure that distance is never an obstacle for patients and families to access the care they need and deserve.

Distance should never be a barrier for patients requiring specialized medical treatment or diagnosis.
