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
