TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS-- We help facilitate our international partners' flight programs by recruiting and training staff, setting standards, acquiring and equipping aircraft, providing technical field support and R&D, and more. Currently, we partner with programs in Brazil, Cameroon, Gabon, Indonesia, Kenya, Papua New Guinea, and Peru. We help our international partners assess their travel challenges and determine the optimal vehicles for their situations and assist with acquiring, upfit and training.
TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS-- We have designed, developed, and now support FlightSpan, a custom application that helps to ensure efficiency, accountability, and safety before, during, and after conducting flight operations. In addition, technology is provided and supported with our international partners and at the JAARS base in North Carolina headquarters.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS-- We help our international partners assess needs, develop effective solutions, funding support, and effective implementation and training to help missionaries cross the last mile. In addition, we are exploring high-impact operating "hubs" to help missionaries cross the last mile and reach the unreached.
