Angel Flight NE

Angel Flight NE is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in N. Andover, USA. It arranges medical flights and ground transport at no cost to patients with limited financial resources. The organization serves patients who need frequent trips to life-saving medical care.

Its volunteer pilots fly patients in private planes, and commercial airline partners also carry patients. The site says more than 300 volunteer pilots take part. Ground crew meet patients and shuttle them between the airport and medical facilities, and back again.

The organization says that roughly half of its patients are children, often with severe burns, cancer or rare diseases. Patients may bring a family member or companion on a flight. Flights are arranged for patients of all ages, and the team supports them through their whole health journey.

The site describes humanitarian flights too. These carry medical supplies during a crisis, organs or donors to medical facilities, and family members to loved ones who need critical care. Since the first flight in 1996, mission coordinators have scheduled more than 111,000 flights.

The site says more than 3,000 patient trips are scheduled each year. It states that 88 percent of donations go to helping patients in need. The group is funded by donations from individuals, foundations and corporate sponsors, and it lists military angel flights and veteran support as well.

The office is at LWM Airport, 492 Sutton Street, N. Andover, MA 01845. The phone number is (978) 794-6868. The site has a pilot login, a pilot fuel fund, a request a flight option and a newsletter.
