Phoenix-based Arcadia Jets has launched its new business aircraft brokerage with a philanthropic commitment: donating a portion of profits from every transaction to Angel Flight West (AFW). This nonprofit arranges free air transportation for individuals needing non-emergency medical care across the western U.S.
“When we opened Arcadia Jets, we committed ourselves to doing things differently than what you’d expect from a traditional aircraft broker,” said Adam Hahn, CEO. “What better way to do that than to support an organization built on the use of private aircraft to help people access life-enhancing services?” Hahn, a longtime volunteer pilot with AFW, added that he and his team encourage others in business aviation to contribute to AFW.
Arcadia’s announcement coincides with the brokerage’s first series of completed transactions. The company said its giving initiative reflects a broader mission to align aircraft ownership with community benefit.
AFW executive director Mary Hunter welcomed the partnership, noting that Hahn’s personal engagement, as both donor and volunteer, adds meaningful impact. “Arcadia Jets' contributions help ensure that AFW can continue arranging life-changing flights for the patients and families who need us,” she said.
Founded in 2024, Arcadia Jets joins a growing number of aviation companies incorporating social impact into their business models. AFW, which works with more than 1,800 volunteer pilots, arranges more than 1,300 free flights annually.
