Physiotherapist Ruan Swart uses MAF aircraft every week. The flights enable him to provide physiotherapy to the people of Elcho Island, Arnhem Land, one of the remotest places on earth.

For Ruan, the stress-free, 40-minute plane ride saves hours travelling by boat and land.

He helps Aboriginal people who’ve lost a limb, had a stroke or experienced a brain or spinal cord injury, as well as patients suffering from depression and anxiety, who often struggle to leave the house.
