LifeSouth Blood Flights

LifeSouth Community Blood Center utilizes a dedicated aircraft, nicknamed “the blood plane,” to efficiently distribute blood products across the Southeastern United States. This single-engine turboprop plane operates nightly, flying between Gainesville, FL, and other locations like Atlanta, Birmingham, and Montgomery, Huntsville. The plane is a crucial part of LifeSouth’s logistics, ensuring timely delivery of blood to hospitals and other medical facilities.
