When you or a loved one needs specialized medical care, the last thing you should worry about is how to get there. Plains Air provides safe, comfortable charter flights from Hays to medical facilities across the region.
Whether it's a scheduled appointment or an urgent transfer, we coordinate every detail so you can focus on what matters — your health.
Specialist visits, surgical consultations, and second opinions at distant hospitals. We get you there and back, often in the same day.
Chemotherapy, dialysis, rehabilitation — when treatment requires repeated trips, we build a schedule that works around your care plan.
For urgent referrals and time-sensitive transfers, we mobilize quickly. Our team is on standby to get patients airborne within hours of your call.

No layovers. No connecting flights. No TSA lines. We fly on your timeline and adapt when appointments run long or get rescheduled.
Our aircraft are configured for medical patients — extra legroom, reclinable seating, and a companion seat. We make the journey as easy as the destination.
From Hays Municipal Airport to major medical centers across the region. Custom routes available for any destination within range.
My mother needed weekly treatments in Kansas City. The 5-hour drive was too much for her. Plains Air turned it into a 90-minute flight and she could rest the whole way. Changed everything for our family.
After my cardiac surgery referral to Denver, I thought I'd have to drive 6 hours post-op. Plains Air had me home in under 2 hours, resting comfortably the whole flight. Incredible service.
As a referring physician in rural Kansas, I recommend Plains Air to patients who need care at larger facilities. They handle the logistics so my patients can focus on getting better.
When my husband needed an emergency consultation at KU Med, Plains Air got us there the same afternoon. The pilot even waited for us. You can't put a price on that kind of care.
Living in rural Kansas means specialist care is always far away. Plains Air makes it possible to see the best doctors without losing two days of travel. It's a lifeline for our community.
The insurance coordination alone saved me hours of paperwork. Plains Air handled everything — the flight, the ground transport on both ends, even called my doctor's office to confirm the appointment.
Some insurance plans cover medical air transport. We provide all necessary documentation and work with your provider to determine coverage. We also offer payment plans for out-of-pocket costs.
For scheduled appointments, we recommend 48-72 hours notice. For urgent medical situations, we can often have a flight ready within a few hours. Call us directly for time-sensitive requests.
Absolutely. Every booking includes one companion seat at no additional charge. We believe no one should fly to a medical appointment alone. Additional companions can be accommodated based on aircraft capacity.
We operate pressurized, twin-engine aircraft configured for patient comfort. Our fleet includes models with extra-wide doors for wheelchair access and reclinable seating for post-surgical patients.
Yes. We coordinate ground transport on both ends — from your home to the airport, and from the destination airport to the medical facility. It's all included in your flight plan.
