Welcome to Angel Flight of British Columbia

Angel Flight is a charitable, non-profit organization that provides free, accessible air transportation for people who must travel for medical purposes.

On Vancouver Island, people with medical issues often cannot receive treatment in their own locales and are forced to travel long distances to centralized medical facilities in Vancouver and Victoria. These trips by conventional means can range anywhere from four to six hours and sometimes longer, often required several times a week for a number of weeks.

Angel Flight of British Columbia was founded in 2001 with the purpose of easing the burden of these individuals by utilizing a network of volunteer pilots, aircraft owners, and ground support. Angel Flight launched its service in April 2002 and transports ambulatory patients whose medical conditions make it difficult or impossible for them to travel by conventional means.

Upon medical referral, people can be transported to treatment centers quickly and comfortably so they can focus their energies on getting well. With immune systems that are often a critical consideration, Angel Flight can assure a contagion-free environment on a flight that is dedicated to only that individual and his or her escort.

We fly whenever needed and as often as our capacity, and weather allows. Our services are proudly supported through corporate and private donations, as well as fundraising events.
