AIM's International Services exists to provide logistic support to AIM primarily, and to other affiliated organizations as the resources of personnel, time, and finance are available. The International Services logistical support is for the purpose of fulfilling AIM's mission of evangelization of unreached peoples and the effective preparation of leaders who will develop maturing churches. AIM AIR is in Africa to serve the Africa Inland Mission and those working in line with AIM's goals. Freight weights are based on a typical 240 mile mission, with fuel available at destination, and no seats installed. Weight available decreases substantially if round trip fuel must be carried.
Longer trips reduce weight available, shorter ones increase it.
The newest addition to our fleet, a Mitsubishi MU-2 Marquise has been made available for use through the generosity of Samaritan's Purse. At 320MPH and 27000 feet of cruising altitude, the MU-2 will get up to ten passengers where they need to be quickly and comfortably. This aircraft is not limited to long, paved runways . Although it cannot land everywhere a 206 or Caravan can, it is able to handle most dirt and gravel strips that are 1000 meters or more long. The Cessna 208 Grand Caravan continues to prove itself an incredibly versatile workhorse enhancing the ministries of our missionaries.
