MAF respects the indigenous people of Arnhem Land. We have tried to ensure that names and photographs of deceased indigenous people do not appear on our website. However, circumstances change, so please call us on 08 8987 2777 if any featured material needs to be removed. Thank you.
MAF in Arnhem Land currently operates seven GA8 Airvans. These aircraft can carry up to seven adults (or approximately 450 kilograms of cargo) on each flight. The amount an aircraft can carry changes according to the weather, where extra fuel may be needed and the airstrips being used. The seats in an Airvan can be easily removed for medevac evacuations using a stretcher, or to carry bulky cargo.
The Cessna 208 Caravan is a versatile aircraft, well suited for serving remote airstrips. This aircraft is most often used for the Scheduled Service flights which operates daily on a regular timetable to the larger communities in Eastern Arnhem Land. When not engaged with the scheduled service, the Caravan is also available for ad hoc charter flights to meet the versatile needs of our customers. The Caravan is larger than the Airvan and can carry up to nine adult passengers or approximately 800-1,000 kilograms of cargo depending on fuel requirements and airstrip limitations. The Caravan is equipped with an autopilot and weather radar.
