📍Location: Papua New Guinea📆 Type of Contract: Full time - this is a salaried position *(and open only for PNG Nationals)*
There are places in Papua New Guinea where roads fade into rivers, mountains rise like walls, and a small aircraft is not a convenience but a lifeline.
Mission Aviation Fellowship PNG is seeking qualified Mission Pilots ready to trade routine routes for runway strips carved from jungle and mountainside.
We deliver medical evacuations, transport health workers and church teams, carry relief supplies, and connect isolated communities to vital services. Every flight has a name. Every landing has a purpose.

You will fly with skill. You will lead with integrity. You will serve with heart.
As a Christian mission organisation, applicants must provide a Pastor’s reference confirming active church involvement and Christian character. This is aviation ministry. Your faith is not parked at the hangar door.
