Jonny & Glenys Watson

Technical Advisor for Airstrips & Flight Operations Manager, PNG

Glenys is a Pilot and deputy Flight Ops Manager in the Papua New Guinea programme flying the Cessna 208 Caravan. She finds joy in flying into bush strips in the mountainous and challenging terrain in PNG, combining her love of flying and her Christian faith in a practical way to provide hope to isolated communities.

Jonny, using his experience as an Engineering Geologist, enjoys being able to provide technical support to communities and missionaries looking to improve and maintain their airstrips.

The Watson family live in the city of Goroka where their girls attend a local mission school.
