    Angel Flight NE is a non-profit organization that coordinates free air transportation for patients & their families who must travel to access specialized medical treatment and care. For many, their financial resources prohibit them to travel long distances frequently to receive the care they need or their immune system is compromised & traveling via public transportation is not an option. More than 40% of Angel Flight NE's patients are coordinated for children. Since its founding in 1996, AFNE has scheduled more than 108,000 flights for patients who have flown over 15 million miles. This is made possible with the support of their 400+ volunteer general aviation pilots and commercial aviation partners. For further information, call 800-549-9980, or visit their website at www.angelflightne.org.
