An immersive flight experience
In Papua New Guinea, Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) provides essential air services to some of the most remote communities in the country.
The Challenge:
With rugged mountains, dense jungles and limited road infrastructure, many villages are completely cut off from basic services.
The impact:
MAF’s aircraft serve as lifelines, delivering medical care, emergency evacuations, educational resources and supplies to those who would otherwise have no access. Every flight carries help, hope and healing—whether it’s a teacher reaching a remote school, a pastor bringing spiritual encouragement or a critically ill patient being flown to hospital in time.
The Future:
To continue this vital work, a new plane is on its way! Many of our aircraft have served faithfully for decades, but rising maintenance costs and reliability challenges make renewal essential. This new aircraft means more flights, greater efficiency, and reaching even more people in need.

Meet the Passenger: Baby Inan-B and her parents from Nomane, Papua New Guinea.
“If baby Inan-B hadn’t been transported by MAF on time… she wouldn’t have survived because she was already not breathing,” says her father, Jonathan Onge.
Finally, we heard the hum of the aircraft. MAF flew us to the hospital, where she received the care she needed. Now, she is alive and well. “If the plane was not here, my baby daughter would not have survived. We are so thankful.”
When Inan-B suddenly fell critically ill, we rushed her to the Nomane health centre, where staff called MAF for a medevac. As her condition worsened, I gave her mouth-to-mouth, praying the plane would arrive in time.
Meet the Passenger: Hapson Mekpe Hapson from Bomai, Papua New Guinea.
Hapson, a carpenter from the remote village of Bomai, dreamed of building a new church for his community. With no road access, getting materials there seemed impossible—until MAF stepped in.
“I live in a very remote place… MAF is the only service provider to deliver that service. Our school and health centres, all our lives (depend) on air transport,” says Hapson.
Thanks to MAF flights, timber, cement, steel bars, and even a church bell made it to Bomai.
