Mission Air is a national, charitable organization that
provides free air transportation for patients and their
families who require specialized medical treatment or
diagnosis outside of their own communities. Mission Air
arranges flights for patients of all ages and illness groups
using donated empty seats on corporate, commercial and
government aircraft. To be eligible for this service, a
patient must: be a Canadian resident; find paying for airline
tickets a financial hardship; have medical clearance to fly
and not require medical treatment on board the aircraft; be
able to sit in a regular aircraft seat (no stretchers); and
be attending a recognized medical treatment centre. Mission
Air requires a minimum of 2 1/2 weeks to arrange a flight.
Patients, their families, or health care professionals may
contact Mission Air Transportation Network from Monday to
Friday, 9am to 5pm EST.
