Featured Partnerships

In November 2019, Hope Air announced a new partnership with worldwide accommodation leader Airbnb, offering free accommodations to Canadians travelling for treatment.

We are proud to be a partner charity of WestJet Cares for Kids, WestJet’s community investment program. This Thanksgiving, we teamed up with WestJet Cares for Kids to help 23-year-old Leora, say thanks to her biggest supporters in a special way. Leora has flown over 50 times with Hope Air to access the medical care she needs.
