The foundation
So that miracles have ground to stand on.
Who carries Flying Angel — and how you can help.
Behind Flying Angel stands the Flying Angel Foundation, based in Rapperswil-Jona. Founded by Sven Düring, who brought the Porter to Switzerland.
Quite apart from the foundation, the Pilatus PC-6 has long been a proven aircraft for humanitarian work, flown the world over by the Red Cross and the United Nations among others. That same spirit of help shapes the foundation’s mission.
We decide in rounds, not on a rolling basis: we review all submissions at the end of each month, and replies go out early the following month. Every person receives a personal answer. We never simply write “declined” — we explain why we cannot fulfil a wish. We deliberately publish no fixed criteria; for now, the heart decides.
