National Donate Life Month: How Air Unlimited Plays a Role in Organ Transportation
Did you know that every ten minutes someone is added to the national transplant waiting list? With so many people waiting for a lifesaving match, it is crucial that the organ being donated is delivered to the person in need with the utmost care and as quickly as possible. April is National Donate Life Month, but Air Unlimited participates in the organ transportation donation process year-round.
While waiting for an organ that could be a match is one of the biggest challenges of the organ donation process, many people may not realize the right organ could become available at a moment’s notice anywhere in the country. Then the struggle becomes getting that organ to the donor in need quickly. This is where pilots like those at Air Unlimited are called into action.
The team at Air Unlimited goes above and beyond their 9 to 5 jobs to help save lives. Pilots have made themselves available at all hours of the day and night because of it. The team never knows when they might get a call saying that there was a terrible accident, and a liver is now available for the next person on the national transplant list. Co-founders Chick Gregg and Mark Neubauer know when the phone rings in the middle of the night, their quick actions could help save a life. They have jumped at the opportunity to fly wherever is needed, usually transporting a team of doctors and technicians or sometimes just transporting a cooler containing an organ on ice – the crucial piece for the patient eagerly awaiting it. The reality is grim, but the outcome can be immeasurable.
Over the years, Air Unlimited has worked closely with Florida Hospital’s Transplant Institute, regional hospitals, and other agencies to complete dozens of organ transportation flights right here in Florida. Whatever the call of duty, whether it’s flying a family to an island vacation or flying an organ to a patient in need, the pilots at Air Unlimited take pride in every single flight.

Pet-Friendly & Stress-Free Flights to the Abaco Islands
There’s nothing worse than getting ready to leave on an amazing vacation and looking into your dog’s sad puppy eyes as you close the door. Many pet owners are faced with boarding their pets or hiring someone to pet sit in their home while they are gone. Boarding comes at a high cost and has many risks for your pet. Hiring someone you trust enough to come into your home can come with even higher risks and a higher cost. Air Unlimited believes that if you want to take your pet on a flight to the Abaco Islands, you should be able to. Flying with your pets can be a stressful experience, but not with Air Unlimited. Our employees are pet lovers themselves, so they go above and beyond to treat your pets like their own. Pets don’t get stowed in the cargo area or overhead bins when they fly with Air Unlimited. Instead, they get to fly in the cabin next to their owners so they can enjoy the ride stress-free. They are treated with the utmost care, and many places in the Abacos have the same standards.
The best option for pet-friendly lodging in the Abacos is renting a home through Airbnb. You get the comfort of staying in a house and the convenience of being able to walk your dog in someone’s yard, instead of resort property. This also gives wary dogs the privacy to bark as much as they want without disturbing neighbors on the other side of the walls. Another option, similar to renting a house, is to stay at the SeaSpray Resort & Marina. It is home to two bars and restaurants, as well as Bahamian-style rental villas. You have the choice of staying in a variety of oceanfront villas with views of both the Atlantic and the Sea of Abaco. The villas offer more than enough room for a full house plus a furry friend. If you’re not sure if a hotel allows pets, just give them a call. They are happy to work with customers to give them the best Abaco experience.
Almost every restaurant in the Abacos has outdoor seating. With water so blue it seems unreal and sunsets that look like they’ve been pulled from magazines views as beautiful as the Abacos, why wouldn’t you want to be outside? Luckily, this means that your dog can tag along for lunch. Coco Beach Bar & Grill is the perfect place to grab a Bahamian drink and local grilled favorites. This casual outdoor venue leads right onto the beach and has picnic tables, lounge chairs, plus kayak and banana boat rentals. Overall, if you’re traveling with a well-behaved pup, you’ll be allowed on any patio.
Let Air Unlimited give you and your pet the island travel experience of a lifetime. Be sure to call Air Unlimited at 407-585-4300 before booking your ticket to reserve a spot for your pet.
