A new charitable flight provider, Elevated Access, has launched its program to provide flights for those in need of care. So far, more than 750 pilots have signed up to pitch in by providing those flights in their own airplanes. Unlike other similar flight provider organizations, Elevated Access will target for the service people who are seeking abortions and gender-affirming health care. After the United States Supreme Court’s decision to override the longstanding Roe v. Wade decision, which had granted people the right to choose abortion, Elevated Access has emphasized its intention to provide rides to people seeking abortions in states where it is now outlawed to states where it is legal. It will provide in-state flights, too. Likewise, the organization has focused on people seeking gender affirming health care, which is still legal in all 50 states but are seeking care outside their home area. Those interested in volunteering or donating to the cause, can go to the organization’s site to get more information, including required experience for signing up to fly missions.
