In 1999, Hope Air launched an innovative new program with the goal of extending our service to communities not well covered by commercial airlines. The Volunteer Pilot Program (VPP) provides general aviation pilots with the opportunity to combine their passion for flying with their desire to help people in need.

Our Volunteer Pilots are an extraordinary group of people; they come from many different backgrounds and areas of the country.

In addition to participating in a very unique philanthropic cause, VPP Pilots enjoy the following benefits:

-fuel reimbursement at a pre-set rate
-a charitable tax receipt for your operating costs
-permission to use the Hope Air call sign which waives landing and NavCanada fees
-participation in VPP Pilot recognition events
-additional liability insurance coverage at no cost to you

Any pilot who meets the following minimum qualifications can become a Hope Air Volunteer Pilot:

  1. Private Pilot Licence with 200 hours PIC, or
  2. Commercial Pilot Licence and
  3. 30 hours on type in either case

We are grateful to the following principal VPP Sponsors:
