Aircraft Maintenance

Mareeba, located in Far North Queensland, is a strategic hub for MAF’s aircraft maintenance and training needs, serving as a lifeline for programs across Arnhem Land, Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste. Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, the Mareeba base handles essential heavy maintenance tasks including major overhauls, repairs, modifications, avionics upgrades, repaints and stores support.

These extensive maintenance services ensure that MAF’s aircraft remain in top condition, capable of safely reaching some of the most isolated and challenging regions in the world. Mareeba’s experienced technicians work tirelessly to ensure that each aircraft is ready to deliver life-saving aid, medical supplies and critical services to those who depend on MAF’s flights.

Flight Training Centre

Additionally, Mareeba is home to the MAF Flight Training Centre, which plays a crucial role in preparing new pilots for the demands of mission aviation.

Trainee pilots at the Centre receive hands-on training designed to equip them for flying in extreme conditions, from mountainous terrain to dense jungles and unpredictable weather.

With instructors who bring a wealth of experience from MAF’s global operations, students are immersed in a comprehensive program that emphasises technical skills, safety and adaptability.

This training is invaluable, as it prepares pilots to navigate the unique challenges they will face in their future assignments, ensuring that MAF can continue its mission of bringing help, hope and healing to isolated communities worldwide.
