Exclusive Evening Event – Canberra Airport



Often the world of humanitarian impact can seem a long way from Canberra and the tools of change, at times, intangible.
But Cairns-based MAF International is bringing this world to you and your colleagues.
We are delighted to invite you to an exclusive evening event with MAF International, hosted at the Canberra Airport where a visiting MAF Cessna Caravan (C208) aircraft will be on display at the hangar on its way to PNG. This special event will bring together politicians and their teams, industry stakeholders, and members of the public for a relaxed opportunity for conversation and education about the role of humanitarian aviation in our region and the impacts of Australia’s overseas aid budget.
