Activity
Our Mission
Angel Flight West delivers health and hope using donated flights to serve those with healthcare or other compelling human needs. In the air, Angel Flight West links volunteer pilots and commercial airlines with people whose non-emergency health needs require long-distance travel to access care.
On the ground, volunteer drivers ferry passengers to and from their departure and destination airports.
Meet our passenger, Luis. He's has been flying with Angel Flight West since 2016 for post-liver transplant treatment.
Every few months, Luis and his mother Maria fly with a volunteer pilot from San Diego to Santa Monica Airport for Luis’ medical appointment at UCLA Health. Afterwards, a volunteer pilot flies the mother-son duo home.
In addition to giving Luis and his mother Maria the gift of flight and hope, our volunteer pilots have given Luis a piece of their passion for aviation. “I like to sit in the front of the plane,” says Luis. “I want to be a pilot one day.”
78 angel flights later, Luis and his mother are grateful for the ongoing support from Angel Flight West. Because of the efforts of our volunteers, partners, supporters, and staff, Luis’ ongoing travel to and from his essential care is possible.
