Pacific Mission Aviation received a $497,882 project grant award from the Department of the Interior's Office of Insular Affairs under the Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories program (CFDA 15.875). As a non-profit organization providing aviation services in Micronesia and the Philippines, Pacific Mission Aviation will utilize this funding from April 2023 through September 2027 to transport medical personnel and supplies via aircraft to isolated island communities in Guam and other U.S. territories. This strengthens healthcare capacity in the region by ensuring access to care. Additional infrastructure upgrades to Pacific Mission Aviation's hangar facilities in Yap will support ongoing aviation operations that facilitate transport to enable business and trade activity, with the goal of promoting broader economic growth. The services directly fulfill the program's objectives of bolstering health, governance, and economic development in island regions under U.S. jurisdiction.
