In high-pressure environments, humanitarian and evacuation charters are the vital link for organisations needing safe, efficient personnel movement under constrained or critical conditions.
Operating out of Dubai and Abu Dhabi hubs, our coordination centre undertakes aircraft positioning, crew briefing, over-flight & landing permits — enabling continuous access to regions affected by crises or where scheduled services are disrupted or unavailable.
Typical use cases include:
- Emergency evacuations from high-risk regions.
- Staff rotation for field missions and NGOs.
- Deployment of humanitarian and medical teams.
- Diplomatic or governmental charter flights.
- Repatriation, crew change and mission-redeployment operations.
