Supported by the other sections of the **Aviation Without Borders International** movement, which involves **10 countries**, we make the most of the technologies of the aerial world in the broadest sense of the word, from drones to satellites to our emblematic **Cessnas**, to offer a tailor-made solution to the needs of organisations working in close proximity to people in need. ![](https://asfbelgium.org/storage/files/historique-avion-5-tchad.jpg) ©Benoit Gaborit We are honoured to support the humanitarian work of **Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr Denis Mukwege** and to benefit from the scientific backing of a renowned university, the **University of Liège**, **Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech**. If we are able to carry out these extraordinary actions, it is thanks to a huge chain of solidarity involving our donors, our volunteers and all our partners. Thank you to all of you! > **We are happy to take off with you for the next 40 years.** - [ ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://asfbelgium.org/en/news/40-years-of-aviation-sans-frontieres-belgium) - [ ]() - [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https://asfbelgium.org/en/news/40-years-of-aviation-sans-frontieres-belgium) - [ ](https://wa.me/?text=https://asfbelgium.org/en/news/40-years-of-aviation-sans-frontieres-belgium) - [ ]() Contact ------- Aviation Sans Frontières Belgique ASBL Rue Montoyer n°1 - Bte 36 B-1000 Brussels Belgium Phone: [+32 2 213 42 50](tel:+3222134250) Fax: +32 2 213 42 59 E-mail: Quick links ----------- - [ Resources ](https://asfbelgium.org/en/resources) - [ Our partners ](https://asfbelgium.org/en/our-partners) - [ Contact ](https://asfbelgium.org/en/contact) - [ Privacy Policy ](https://asfbelgium.org/en/privacy-policy) - [ Cookie policy ](https://asfbelgium.org/en/cookie-policy) Follow us --------- - [ ![](https://asfbelgium.org/storage/files/facebook.svg) Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/ASFBelgium) - [ ![](https://asfbelgium.org/storage/files/linkedin.svg) LinkedIn ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/aviation-sans-frontières-piloten-zonder-grenzen-be/) - [ ![](https://asfbelgium.org/storage/files/youtube.svg) YouTube ](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UComqB33XyWweCvteJ3QH1eg/videos) [ ![Donorinfo](https://asfbelgium.org/build/assets/donorinfo-en-standard-UAbuY1_p.png) ](https://www.donorinfo.be/fr/faire-un-don/aviation-sans-frontieres-belgique) [ ](#top)
