Humanitarian and Relief;

Since early 2000 Aviacon has been a major airlift supplier for humanitarian agencies and the UN peacekeepers providing ad-hoc charters, as well as long-term solutions for a number of UN organizations, including the World Food Programme (WFP), Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO), Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD) and the Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Over the years Aviacon has been many times involved in ad hoc and large-scale humanitarian relief flight operations for the governments, international NGOs and other aid providers. As from 2004 to 2007, one of Aviacon’s Ilyushin-76 aircraft was permanently based at the UN logistics base (UNLB) in Brindisi, Italy, operating under the UN Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) banner.
