International Association of Missionary Aviation

To provide aviation and communications logistical support to those serving the physical, mental and spiritual needs of the forgotten peoples of the earth.

Aviation parts and floats manufacturing

AIM AIR is a Christian missionary aviation team operating six aircrafts from two bases in east and central Africa. Our team of pilots, mechanics, avionics techs, media personnel, administrators and managers serve the needs of 50+ Christian organizations and missionaries.

These missionaries serve people in remote places, leaving them isolated and vulnerable. AIM AIR exists to provide critical air support that keeps missionaries safer and serving longer in Africa.

We fly so missionaries:

Can rest assured: One phone call is all it takes. From poisonous snakes to civil wars, missionaries in remote places can find themselves in need of immediate care. With one phone call AIM AIR can immediately begin an evacuation response – swiftly delivering an airplane to their backyard, ready to carry them to safety.

Stay Focused: Maximizing ministry time. When we deliver essential supplies, provide technology assistance, or repair a vehicle between flights, missionaries do not have to be distracted from their most important work. They can focus on people instead of problems.

Go the Distance: Serve longer and go farther. With the airplane as a lifeline, missionaries are no longer limited by time and distance. They become free to deepen relationships and impact hearts with the love of Christ so entire communities' change.

Samaritan's Purse is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan's Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God's love through His Son, Jesus Christ. Samaritan's Purse Mission Aviation Services operates five aviation programs globally: North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, Greensboro, North Carolina, Soldotna, Alaska, Eldoret, Kenya, Monrovia, Liberia

For a missionary aviation candidate, the technical training for flight and maintenance skills is sometimes the simplest part of his/her overall required preparation to serve. Many other factors emerge along the journey to serving fulltime in missionary aviation. These factors are equally as vital and, if not addressed properly, can be disqualifying. At SOAR, we are committed to addressing these factors with our comprehensive approach in preparing missionary candidates allowing them to transition directly to their future mission aviation sending agency. Our seamless pathway to missions along with practical maintenance and flight experience is supported by a financial model that avoids debt. Debt can frequently delay or derail those trying to get to the mission field. As we like to say, "It's from SOAR to the Mission Field!".
