Angel Flight

The Order of the Amaranth supported Angel Flight as their special charity project in 2007 and 2008. H.L. Helen Wright, Grand Royal Matron chose 'Angel Flight' for the Grand Court Project and would like to say thank you to all who supported this wonderful service to the community. At the Grand Court Session in March 2008 cheques to the value of $8,200 were presented to representatives for 'Angel Flight'.

'Angel Flight' was created to meet a real need. Often those most wanting the speed and comfort of aircraft travel are those least able to afford it. Angel Flight Australia is a charity that co-ordinates non-emergency flights for financially and medically needy people.

All flights are free and may involve patients or compassionate carers traveling to or from medical facilities anywhere in Australia. Volunteer pilots in aircraft they own or rent,
fly Angel Flight missions. They donate their flying skills and most of the expenses of each flight.

Angel Flight Australia was officially launched on April 8th 2003. Since then thousands of Angel Flight missions have been accomplished helping financially needy people with kidney and liver failures, cancer, rickets, aortic stenosis, cystic fibrosis, leukemia and more.

Angel Flight has nearly 2000 pilots registered and can accept missions from and to anywhere within Australia.
