FAQ

Angel Flight Central (AFC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to arranging free air transportation for children and adults who need to travel to medical care or other essential services. Our volunteer pilots donate their time, aircraft, and resources to provide long-distance flights, typically for trips under 900 nautical miles. Most AFC passengers are traveling to specialized medical treatment that may not be available close to home. Because we are a non-emergency service, we ask for 5–7 business days to coordinate flights.

In addition to medical transportation, AFC provides compassion flights for children travel to specialized summer camps, transports breast milk to rural NICUs, and flying service puppies to training facilities. AFC volunteer pilots also assist with disaster response and relief efforts by transporting small cargo and key personnel when needed.

AFC serves passengers residing in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois and Indiana. AFC provides flights for both rural and urban populations as our pilots are based at general aviation airports throughout the region.

AFC networks with other charitable aviation organizations to serve passengers who may live outside its 10-state region.
