Jerrycan It’s simple: 20 litres of fuel, 20 minutes of flying. The thing is, those 20 minutes make all the difference to someone cut off and in desperate need.

Windsock Your gift to the maintenance fund will allow us to buy essential parts like windsocks. These rather odd looking things help our pilots with something rather important: landing.

“Making a lasting difference” ‘Bang for buck’

Boarding Pass There’s no red carpet and no limousine. But make no mistake, they’re our VIP passengers. Why? Because they’re changing the world. Your gift will pay for a seat for one of our partners, subsidising a one hour flight and sending help where it’s most needed.

Drum of Fuel A jerrycan times ten: 200 litres of critical fuel. Your drum will provide three hours and 20 minutes of flying. An MAF aircraft can achieve an incredible amount of transformation in that time.
