FAQ

AFC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to arranging free air transportation for children and adults who are in situations of compelling human need. Our generous volunteer pilots donate their time and resources to provide long distance flights less than 900 nautical miles. Nearly 90% of the people who travel with AFC are flown to specialized medical care. We are a non emergency service and need 5 to 10 business days to coordinate a flight - the more time the better!

In addition, AFC provides compassion flights for veterans and first responders, help children fly to specialized summer camps, fly breast milk to rural NICUs, and service puppies to their training facilities or new owners . AFC volunteer pilots also assist in Disaster Response and relief for small cargo, key personnel, or relocation efforts.

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.

Free. No matter how many times you need to go, it's always free. The cost of an angel flight is a THANK YOU to your pilot (or pilots). The HELP and HOPE delivered is often priceless. Due to FAA regulations, volunteer pilots are not permitted to receive any compensation for providing this service, either from our passengers or Angel Flight Central.

No. Angel Flight Central does not arrange lodging for any passengers. Ground transportation is the responsibility of the passengers.

Angel Flight Central is supported through charitable giving and the donated services of our volunteer pilots. Individuals, corporations, small businesses, other organizations, and foundations donate cash and in-kind services to support flight coordination, public awareness, outreach, recruitment, and administrative costs.

We want to hear from you! Please let the AFC Coordination Team know how you’re doing after your flight and give us feedback on your experience so we can pass it along to all those involved in making your flight possible.

We also hope that you will share your experience about Angel Flight Central with your friends, family and in your community so we can help more people in need.
