Aviation Sans Frontières is a unique aviation NGO specialised in humanitarian air transport services operating Cessna 208B aircraft with bush flying capabilities, providing Relief Aid NGOs with flexible access to remote corners of crisis countries such as DR Congo, Central African Republic, etc.

Aviation Sans Frontières is implementing its humanitarian air transport services through its ASF Air Operations Hub “Orly” which is the Joint Operations pole / center for Humanitarian Flight Operations with ASF AOC.
