Who is Angel Flight?
Angel Flight of British Columbia is a charitable, non-profit organization that serves people with medical issues. We coordinate a network of pilots and other volunteers to transport patients via private aircraft from points on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland to treatment centres in Victoria and Vancouver. Our passengers are patients who have to travel long distances for diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy, dialysis, or other treatments not locally available. Patients have to able to get into and out of a small aircraft unaided. Often, their medical condition makes it uncomfortable or impossible for them to travel by other means due to fears of contagion from other passengers. Angel Flight will also carry a travelling companion, or guardian, such as a nurse, parent or spouse. Angel Flight is staffed entirely by volunteers. We raise funds through corporate and private donations, as well as fund-raising events. We also solicit support from other fund-raising organizations such as Kiw
