Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) is a Christian organisation that provides aviation services for people living in remote areas around the world.
For over 75 years, MAF has been serving isolated people by using aircraft to bring in the essentials of life as well as medical care, emergency food, and Christian hope.
Our purpose is to deliver practical and spiritual care to people in places of deepest human need. Every five minutes, a MAF plane takes off or lands somewhere in the world. These flights enable crucial work by many aid and development agencies, missions, local churches and other national groups.
MAF is serving the Church and communities in remote areas where flying is not a luxury, but a lifeline.
Our Vision:
To see isolated people changed by the love of Christ.
Our Mission:
Serving together to bring help, hope, and healing through aviation.
