What is the Jumbo Flight all about?

CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES AND UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN

This annual event involves a Boeing 747 taking childrenand their carers on a 90 minute joy-flight over the Sydney/Newcastle/Wollongong area.

The children are physically or intellectually disadvantaged, suffering life threatening illnesses, come from homeless backgrounds or from circumstances where holidays are not possible.

The Rotary Club of Turramurra organizes the children, Qantas provides the aircraft, their staff (including pilots and crew) volunteer their time, and Qantas Pathfinders attend to the ticketing and ground support. Airport charges are waived by Sydney Airport Corporation Ltd and Shell Australia generously donates the fuel.

This year’s flight will be on Saturday 6th November 2010.
