Together with its sister NGOs (ASF-Belgium and France in particuliar) and with the help of close and reliable partners, its purpose is to put civil aviation directly at the service of humanitarian causes, managing or facilitating, in the best possible conditions, the safe and efficient transportation of sick or wounded persons, of health care professionals and of medical material or medicines.

ASF-Switzerland is governed by an Executive Committee gathering together highly-skilled professionals in their fields (from health to aviation through law, finance and economics). As per decision from Vaud Tax Authority, ASF-Switzerland has been granted the status of public utility entity. Efficiency, agility and discretion are words that matter.

After the first flights of its programme "Les Ailes du Sourire" in 2019, other series took place in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 from and to Lausanne aerodrome reaching nearly a hundred flights since the Project's launch, thanks to the ongoing generosity of its expanding circle of members, partners and sponsors! We thank them warmly.

Julien Subilia, appointed as ASF-Switzerland's President in 2023, has always been attracted by Aviation and its nearly unlimited possibilities. Pilot at the age of roughly 20, he has been dedicating his professional life mostly to air and space law, being one of the few lawyers to tackle the legal aspects of GNSS intended to be used as primary means of navigation worldwide. Invited to set-up ASF Swiss-branch by fellow Colleagues from other and historic ASF sections, Julien accepted the challenge and created ASF-Switzerland back in 2017 with the unconditional support of close friends and Colleagues, whose involvment has always been decisive, like the one of ASF-Switzerland's prestigious Ambassadors. Together, we believe that we can make a small difference, be it with our successful Swiss-Programme Les Ailes du Sourire (for now airplanes and balloons) or with our contribution to extremely challenging missions far abroad carried out under the roof of ASF-International, -France and -Belgium. Latest edition to the ASF Family, ASF-Switzerland has another decisive role to play, due to its geographical proximity to the UN eco-system. Do note hesitate to contact us if you wish to share your thoughts on how best we should fulfill our goals, at the service, ultimately, of those in great need. Thank you !

These great women and men have accepted to support ASF-Switzerland, its goal and activities; they are Pioneers, Adventurers, Innovators, Pilots, Entrepreneurs, Professors, and a lot more, to whom we are most grateful.
