Angel Flight East coordinates free air transportation for children and adults with medical conditions who must travel long distances to reach treatment, serving the Eastern United States. It relies on volunteers who pilot their own small aircraft and cover all mission expenses, with the organization connecting to other volunteer pilot groups when destinations lie outside its own network. Requests for flights require patients to be medically stable, able to board, and capable of flying in a small single- or twin-engine aircraft. Based in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, Angel Flight East operates as a small nonprofit and, in January 2024, added a new pilot who was later named pilot of the year in April 2024.
