Pilot & Head of Maintenance, PNG
Renee and Pascal are recently married and serving for MAF in Mount Hagen, Papua New Guinea.
Renee, from Taranaki, New Zealand, started learning to fly when she was 15. She heard about MAF while she was in school and was inspired by the idea of using flying to help people. After finishing her flying training and working as a Flight Instructor, Renee left for Papua New Guinea in 2023 to work as a pilot.
Pascal grew up moving between Austria and Switzerland because his parents were missionaries. He developed an interest in aeroplanes when he was young and wanted to use his skills to help others. After training as an aircraft mechanic and getting a degree in Aeronautical Engineering, Pascal worked for Swiss International Airlines. Pascal arrived in Papua New Guinea in 2021 and serves in the role of Head of Maintenance for MAF PNG.
They want to thank everyone who has supported Renee so far as they continue this journey together in Papua New Guinea.
