We combine our relationships with law enforcement agencies, Child Protective Services, and other associated government agencies, with private aviation partners to light a beacon of hope by facilitating the way home, helping victims escape human trafficking and sex slavery violence. In most situations, law enforcement rescues the victims, Child Protective Services or other agencies prepares survivors for success, and Flights to Freedom flies the survivors to reunite with family and loved ones, or to the safety of support services.
There is a critical and narrow 24-48 hour window in which to transport a human trafficking victim away from danger. Commercial air transportation is not a viable option due to the complexities of commercial airlines and security (many victims do not have appropriate identification) along with the potential for delays or disruptions. Using ground transportation such as buses can be an issue as the extended travel time can impede the return to safety. In addition, law enforcement, child protective services, and other agencies often have limited transportation budgets and staffing. Safety, Security, and confidentiality are paramount. Through its network of volunteer pilots and aircraft, Flights to Freedom provides seamless transportation, promptly delivering the human-trafficked survivor to safety – at no cost to the survivor and agencies.
