Aviation Fleet Renewal
Get Involved
Your gift will help provide crucial turbine-engine aircraft, enabling our aviation partners to better serve hundreds of communities.
As the Bible translation movement progresses, more projects are taking place in the most remote areas of the world—making reliable air transportation more critical than ever.
Unfortunately, it’s also becoming more expensive and complex than ever.
During the last several years, aviation-grade gasoline (avgas)—which powers more than half the small aircraft that serve translation and literacy teams—has skyrocketed in price and disappeared from many areas of the world. As a result, many aviation programs are scrambling to stay airborne. Stockpiling fuel and praying for another shipment. Importing avgas from the United States. And, sadly, suspending flights when fuel runs low.
Therefore, several JAARS-supported aviation programs have started the crucial transition to turbine-engine aircraft, such as placing three Kodiaks in Papua New Guinea which run on readily available jet fuel. In 2012, we are asking for your help to make the transition in Indonesia through the purchase of two Pilatus PC-6s.
By partnering with JAARS, you can help provide these aircraft—equipping aviation programs to better support Bible translation, education, and health and economic initiatives in hundreds of the world’s most remote communities.
