Hope Air

In Canada, healthcare coverage starts at the door of the doctor’s office. How you get to the doctor and any related travel costs fall to you. For people living in small and rural communities across the country, traveling long distances to their specialist medical appointments comes at a cost of time or money. Canadian families living near or below the poverty line can afford neither. We're the only national charity providing free flights to low-income Canadians who must travel to specialist medical care that does not exist in their communities. Hope Air believes that where you live in Canada and how much money you make should not determine your ability to access our healthcare system. A free flight lets families focus on what is truly important – their health. We serve people from across Canada, of every age, with any illness. Since 1986, we are proud to have arranged over flights. Better access. Better health.
