Angel Flight West’s volunteer pilots fly people to medical appointments at no cost to the passenger. The organization has provided over 96,000 flights over the Western United States so far.
“I am excited to partner with Angel Flight West in this most meaningful capacity,” Deaton said. “The aviation community consistently steps up to serve those in need, and it is important to jetAVIVA, and me personally, to support these efforts.”
Deaton’s joining continues the history jetAVIVA has with serving and supporting Angel Flight West.
