Missionary Flights International is not an airline in the typical sense of the term.  We are neither a public nor commercial carrier.  We do, however, strive to offer affiliated missions the kind of efficient service and professionalism expected of an airline operation.  In meeting this technical need of missions, MFI has become an "airline for missions" in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

It's the co-pilot's job to verify the fuel tank levels before heading on the long journey back to Fort Pierce.  The many returning missionaries then board the flight for home.
