The work of Flying Mission Services, as the Botswana aviation department later came to be known, had grown from one aircraft and one pilot to a fleet of aircraft and sought to fulfil its vision to serve southern Africa through aviation excellence. It provided air ambulance and chartered flight services out of its bases at Sir Sereste Khama International Airport in Gaborone, and Maun. It also had an aircraft maintenance department that serviced its own fleet, as well as planes for other aviation companies and individuals.
