Hope Air and Central Mountain Air
Hope Air is a national charity that provides free air travel, hotel accommodation, subsidies for ground transportation, and meals, for patients and escorts in financial need who must travel to access medical care.
Since 1997, Central Mountain Air and Hope Air have partnered to support healthy northern British Columbia communities. As a national charity focused on supporting people from rural, remote, and underserved communities, Hope Air works with partners like CMA to provide free travel support for Canadians in financial need, who require specialized medical care far from home.
Connecting people to care plays a critical role in supporting economic vitality for communities in Northern BC. CMA routes provide connections for key goods and services and support the workforce travel to mining, oil and gas, and other natural resource businesses that are the backbone of the northern British Columbia economy. Their partnership with Hope Air helps to ensure that families in these communities can focus on their health.
