IAMA Members in Haiti

IAMA is proud to represent a group of organizations that have stepped up to serve in a desperate time of need.   Many organization and individuals have already offered their services as pilots, mechanics and support personnel since the devastating earth quake in Haiti.

From the beginning, Missionary Flights International (MFI) has been providing a critical air link between Haiti and the US.  Having served in Haiti for many years, MFI was already in place when the need arose.

Other organizations immediately put their resources on the table and began partnering as necessary to get the job done.  On February 4, JAARS Pilots, Steve Otaviano and Jerry Gardener, flew a Samaritan’s Purse Kodiak to Haiti.  They joined the Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) operation in Port-au-Prince, and the next day began relief flying.

As of February 14, MAF had reported that they had moved “10 tons of food over the last few days”, having transported an estimated 3200 passengers and 670,000 pounds of cargo.

IAMA will continue to facilitate the work of mission aviation around the world so the body of Christ will be well equipped to answer the call for help in the time of need.
