Chaitan Jain from IATA explains the contribution that airlines make when humanitarian aid is required.
Airlink [http://airlinkflight.org/] make the connections necessary between the airline and the humanitarian relief to respond to rapid-onset disasters, including the earthquake in Haiti, the tsunami in Japan, Hurricane Sandy and numerous tornadoes in the US, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, and the Ebola crisis in West Africa.
In addition, Airlink's airline partners have assisted many organizations in addressing ongoing issues in the developing world, such as access to clean water, food, shelter, medical aid, and education.
Today, Airlink's network consists of more than 40 commercial and charter airlines and 80+ international nonprofits.
