  • Anyone who has a transportation barrier to receiving non-emergency healthcare.
  • People who live in rural communities.
  • Someone whose health restricts their ability to drive themselves or fly on a commercial airline.
  • Families on a limited income or experiencing financial pressure from ongoing medical concerns.

Humanitarian Flights

Disaster Relief

LifeLine Pilots has answered the call to help following disasters many times in our 40+ year history. A few examples:

  • 2020 - Volunteer pilots across the country, including LifeLine Pilots volunteers, flew PPE to rural communities in great need of supplies in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • 2011 - Pilots flew dozens of flights from Peoria, Illinois to Joplin, Missouri after the devastating tornado destroyed their community.
  • 2005 - LifeLine Pilots volunteers flew supplies to drop-off points near New Orleans, Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina.
