Wings Flights of Hope would like as much notice as possible for all flight requests.

• New passengers…we do ask for 2 weeks notice of your request in order to process your request.
• Existing passengers….we would like at least 1-week notice of your request.
• Transplant passengers…you need to have all of your required documents submitted to Wings Flight in advance of your transplant, allowing for us to provide the data to the pilots in advance. Please notify your transplant coordinator in advance that Wings Flights of Hope may be transporting you for your transplant.
• Emergency Requests….we will do our best to accommodate emergency requests.

As always the more notice you allow us the more likely your flight request will get assigned to a volunteer pilot. Keep in mind all of the volunteer Wings Flight pilots are flying all missions on their own time. We never have any pilot sitting at the airport waiting to fly, they are all VOLUNTEERS and do the missions according to their own personal schedules.

Volunteer private pilots that volunteer for Wings Flights of Hope, Inc  fly their own aircrafts. Most of the aircrafts are allowed 4-6 passengers, depending on the aircraft size. These aircrafts are smaller and are not jets.

Yes, Wings can fly patients who are not allowed on commercial flights due to germs. Wings pilots usually have smaller aircrafts, thus allowing for continued fresh air throughout all flights.

If you can afford a commercial flight we would recommend this first.

You will need to fill out several forms including a doctors release form. Then all forms MUST be returned before any mission can be posted to the pilots. In cases where persons do not have the means or access to commercial flights, Wings may be able to provide air transportation. There are some restrictions and requirements for all flights. You may call one of our mission coordinators to learn of all the restrictions and requirements. 1-866-61-WINGS
