FY2019 Passenger Breakdown
Coordinated Flights by Fiscal Year
The Coordination Process
An AFC flight is counted as “coordinated” when all of the following have occurred:
The Flight Request Form is completed and submitted by the potential passenger
The AFC Staff and/or Volunteer Coordinator completes the screening process
The AFC Medical Release Form is signed and returned by the passenger’s physician
The flight request is shared privately with the AFC Volunteer Pilots
If a flight is traveling outside of the 10-State AFC region, additional communication and coordination occurs with the charitable aviation organization responsible for that geographic region
A flight can be in the air within 5-7 business days from the moment the initial flight re-
quest is submitted.
Angel Flight Central completed the above process
2,552 times during FY2020!

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS! FY2020 Grassroots Volunteerism
VOLUNTEERS “GIVING HOPE WINGS” IN 2020
I n the spirit of continuing to grow with the entrepreneurial spirit
of our founders, Angel Flight Central has hundreds of active
ground-volunteers called “Ambassadors.” As many grassroots organi-
zations find, their strength is in the networking of friends, family,
neighbors and acquaintances. AFC’s Ambassadors carry out the fol-
lowing essential activities within their own communities across AFC’s
10-State region.
