Where We Began

Flying Mission began as the personal vision of Dr & Mrs Malcolm McArthur in 1977. Perceiving the advantages of air transport for medical and mission work in Botswana, he began using aircraft to take mission and medical personnel on trips into the desert regions. Beginning with one aircraft and a part-time pilot, the work has grown to a fleet of aircraft flying over half a million kilometres per year. Originally from bases at Gaborone and Maun in Botswana, and now also from bases in Zambia, Flying Mission provides a rapid link connecting major centres with distant and inaccessible areas, and brings physical and spiritual help to people in need.
