Who We Serve

Who We Serve

We exist to serve the people of interior Papua. Papua is an immense, rugged, and beautiful land. More than 420,000 square kilometers of rainforest, swamps and tall mountains, some nearly 5000 meters (16,000 feet). Into this magnificent land, God has placed over 250 distinct people groups.

These communities, isolated by the harsh terrain, have had little chance for development. Aviation is the strategic bridge that enables successful development efforts in these remote communities.

How We Serve

How We Serve

Our highest priority is to serve people and organizations that are helping remote communities in Papua. Aviation is the only viable method to reach most of the interior communities. We provide general flight services (often a ten minute flight replaces a three day hike), and medical evacuation services.

We average one evacuation per week, bringing critical patients out of the villages to medical care.

We serve remote communities by supporting economic development, giving a special reduced rate for local produce being sent to a city market.

We provide transportation for various local and national government agencies that aid interior communities, usually in the areas of education and health.

What we fly

Our original fleet of piston powered Helio Courier airplanes have all been retired. The last Helio was retired in August 2012. Our current turbine powered fleet of four Pilatus Porters (PC-6) and one PC-12 aircraft operate more efficiently and carry about twice the payload!
