Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF)
A voluntary contractual programme where civil carriers agree to augment military airlift during a crisis in exchange for peacetime defence business. During peacetime, regional contingencies, and major exercises, CRAF carriers are contracted to fly scheduled passenger, patient/casualty, and cargo channel missions, special assignment airlift missions (SAAMs) and charter missions. This support gives AMC the capacity to meet both routine scheduled and surge commitments flexibly and simultaneously.
