Can you help with transport after a disaster?

We can look at requests for patient transfers, staff travel and medical supplies. Each one depends on which aircraft are free, permits and whether the airport can take flights.

Do you work with NGOs and government response teams?

Yes. We agree who is responsible for what, who approves each flight and who our contact is.

Can you move supplies and staff together?

Often, yes. We check the passengers and cargo, then suggest an aircraft and loading plan that suits both.

Within Australia and overseas, mostly across Asia and the Pacific. It depends on airspace, permits, ground access and a suitable aircraft.

Disaster Response Aviation

Disaster Response Flights and Humanitarian Transport

After a cyclone, flood or earthquake, normal flights often stop. We arrange aircraft and ground transport for patients, response staff and medical supplies, working with the government or NGO running the response.

1800 796 769 Discuss a Patient Transfer

What do we need to know first?

Who or what needs to move, how much it weighs, where it is, and whether the airports at each end are open. From there we check aircraft, permits and who will meet the flight on arrival, then send a plan and a written quote.

Medical supplies and cargo

We check the size, weight, handling needs and paperwork for the cargo before choosing an aircraft, and keep a signed record of who held it at each step.

Response staff

Flights for response teams, surgical staff and aid workers into and out of the affected area, including how they get from the airstrip to where they are needed.

Patients in a disaster area

We speak with the doctors on the ground, work out what care each patient needs on the flight, and confirm the receiving hospital has a bed before departure.

Humanitarian transport support

For NGOs and embassies, we agree the travel plan, the contact people and the report you need afterwards.

Choosing the aircraft

The aircraft depends on the runway, the distance, fuel available at the airstrip and what is being carried. We explain why we have suggested a particular aircraft.

Working with government and NGOs

We fit in with the approvals and contacts of the organisation leading the response, rather than working around them.
