Airlines

Hope Air’s airline partners are dedicated to our mission. From coast to coast, Canada’s national and regional airlines donate seats on their flights to Hope Air’s patients. We are proud to be supported by airlines who show compassion to our patients and truly understand how a flight can help make a difficult journey a little easier.

WestJet has a tremendous impact on the lives of thousands of Canadians who must travel to healthcare far from home through their support of Hope Air. From coast to coast, our patients board WestJet flights with hope for better health and the knowledge that they can get back to their families, friends, and communities faster.
