In 1945, MAF started as the dream of two Kiwis. Today, Mission Aviation Fellowship is the world’s largest humanitarian air operator. For over 75 years, we have been flying light aircraft over jungles, mountains, deserts and hostile areas to bring help, hope, and healing to the world’s most isolated people.

Each year, MAF flies...
