For 80 years, Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) has been flying light aircraft to reach inaccessible communities cut off by geographical barriers such as jungles, mountains, swamps and deserts, or isolated by conflict. MAF is an international Christian organisation whose purpose is to bring help, hope and healing through aviation to people living in isolation and poverty. Today, MAF serves in 29 countries with around 117 aircraft, enabling more than 1,500 aid and development organisations, missions and local churches to bring medical care, emergency relief, long-term development and Christian hope to thousands of communities. Every 5.6 minutes a MAF aircraft takes off or lands somewhere in the world, transporting people who live in remote villages and assisting missions, churches, aid and development agencies. In 2024 alone, MAF International flew 1,908,247 nautical miles, completed 24,288 flight legs, and carried 72,251 passengers. During World War II Christian servicemen and women from around the world independently had the vision to use aircraft for good, leading to the registration of MAF in London in 1945, with first survey flights of central and east Africa in 1948.
