Getting Canadians from home to hospital
If you or a loved one is facing a healthcare challenge, you may be experiencing a lot of uncertainty. The one thing you shouldn’t have worry about is how you’re going to get to vital medical care. Which is why we’re here. Hope Air believes that every Canadian should have access to the medical appointments and treatments they need and that where you live or whether you can afford to travel should not impact the care you receive.

Through generous donations, we work with our partners to arrange travel for Canadians in need from coast to coast. Whether it’s a commercial airline or a volunteer private plane, we make sure you don’t have to cancel or postpone vital medical care or go into debt getting there. All you need to do to start the process is fill out an online application form which includes information about your appointment, financial need, and other pertinent travel needs so that our dedicated client care team can book travel. Let us take care of the details so you can focus on getting better.

Hope Air assesses all applications for travel support on a case-by-case basis based on two primary criteria: a confirmed appointment covered by your provincial healthcare plan and demonstrated financial need. View our detailed FAQ for a further explanation of the process or click Travel Request to start an application. You’ll need to have some basic personal information and details on your appointment to complete the request, and should hear from our client care team within 2 business days.

We acknowledge that we live and work on the unceded, traditional territories of many Indigenous peoples. We are grateful for the privilege of being on lands that these peoples have nurtured since time immemorial.
