About us
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 150,000 flights. Better access. Better health.

Northern British Columbia is known for rich heritage and stunning landscapes, yet a major concern for residents is the inequality in healthcare access. This region has the highest mortality rates in BC, with residents encountering significant challenges in accessing medical care, including limited transportation options and long travel times. These challenges emphasize the urgent need for accessible healthcare in Northern B.C. Hope Air helps by providing free travel support for Canadians in small, rural and remote communities, ensuring they access the necessary medical care they need.

A diagnosis of a rare condition while living in a rural or remote community creates a barrier to medical care. The generosity of donors, like The Whitmer Trudel Charitable Foundation’s $50,000 gift, closes that gap for patients like Adrienne, who was 34 when she faced unexpected heart failure due to an autoimmune disorder. She underwent a heart transplant surgery in her home community of Edmonton. Unfortunately, surgery led to serious complications, resulting in weekly care in Calgary for six months, which she was able to fly to with support from Hope Air.
