Cannes Aviation pilot school supports the NGO Aviation Sans Frontières

Aviation Sans Frontières (ASF) is a public utility NGO with its own aircraft, the Cessna Caravans based in Africa, through which it provides essential logistical support to more than 180 partner organizations in the rapid and effective implementation of humanitarian aid. It is the first NGO to hold a European Air Operator Certificate (AOC).

Internationally, every year, Aviation Sans Frontières accompanies hundreds of children in need of emergency care to have them operated on in Europe and transports essential products to the most disadvantaged populations.

In France, Aviation Sans Frontières also works in collaboration with flying clubs, schools and private operators who volunteer their human resources and aircraft when necessary and useful.
