I don't do angel flights myself but have two mates that do.
If it was to be only a commercial operation it simply would not exist. Few if any commercial operators would do it for free as they have a business to run with all the costs of it to cover,and fair enough.Most people who use it could not afford to pay for it so would go by other slower means. So be careful what you say. If angel flight ceased to be who would be the losers? The very people it was set up to help. Just like the many commuter airlines that closed down following the Monarch crash at Young and another enroute to Lord Howe Isand because "we can't have these old piston aircraft like Chieftans in RPT" many rural communities now have no airservice. Not to mention less jobs for new CPL's.
