Important information

Before you fly with MAF, please familiarise yourself with the information below concerning restrictions, limitations and checking.

Weight Restrictions

  • Our flights are weight restricted. Be prepared to provide your actual body and luggage weight, including all checked and hand luggage.
  • All items and people will be weighed at check-in. If your total weight exceeds the weight allowance provided to you then, unfortunately, we will ask you to leave some luggage behind.
  • When booking a charter, you will receive a quote that tells you a maximum allowed payload or weight. This weight allowance includes cargo, plus all passengers’ body weight, luggage, hand luggage, cameras and purses, etc.

Safety and Weather:

  • Safety is our paramount concern and all flights are conducted weather permitting.
  • If your flight is cancelled due to weather, pilot unavailability, or maintenance issues, you will have the choice of accepting a full refund or rescheduling on the next available flight.
  • Incidental expenses incurred due to weather delays or cancellations are the full responsibility of the passenger. These include but are not limited to re-accommodation, meals, overnight accommodation expenses and passenger-arranged alternate transportation.
