There are several airlines that are offering free flights to medical professionals who are willing to volunteer their time and expertise to help with the coronavirus crisis. This includes Delta, American Airlines, and JetBlue.
Delta announced that they will be providing free flights to Georgia, Louisiana, and Michigan for medical volunteers through their Delta Medical Volunteer Program. This program is in partnership with the state governments and the volunteer organizations. The volunteers will be working in coordination with the local hospitals and health care facilities.
American Airlines is also offering free flights for medical volunteers through their Miles for Good program. This program allows American Airlines AAdvantage members to donate their miles to organizations like the Red Cross and the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics, which are helping with the COVID-19 response. The donated miles will be used to provide flights for medical volunteers.
JetBlue is providing free flights to medical volunteers through their JetBlue For Good program. This program is in partnership with the nonprofit organization, Americares, and will provide flights for medical volunteers traveling to and from the New York City area. Americares is currently working in New York City to help provide essential medical supplies and support to the healthcare workers on the frontlines.
These efforts by the airlines to support medical volunteers come at a time when the healthcare system is struggling to keep up with the demand for medical professionals. By providing free flights, these airlines are removing one of the barriers for medical volunteers who may not have the financial means to travel to areas most affected by the pandemic.
This is not the first time that airlines have stepped up to support relief efforts. In the past, they have provided free flights for disaster relief volunteers and have also utilized their planes to transport essential supplies to affected areas.
In these challenging times, it is heartening to see companies like Delta, American Airlines, and JetBlue using their resources to support those on the frontlines of the coronavirus crisis. As the situation continues to evolve, it is likely that more companies will come forward to offer their assistance in any way they can.
