Aircraft Engine Lease Finance Inc. (“AELF”) has partnered with Airlink Inc., an aviation-focused humanitarian aid and disaster-relief organisation, as a Platinum-level sponsor by committing $100,000 to support Airlink’s emergency response missions.
“Over the last 15 years, Airlink has brought together resources in the aviation industry to aid millions of people impacted by disasters and crises around the world,” said Joe Cirillo, Chief Commercial Officer for AELF. “At AELF, we are committed to joining our industry peers to provide support to those in need and are humbled to support Airlink’s critically important missions.”
Airlink works with its airline and logistics partners to help NGOs respond to humanitarian emergencies by sending aid and skilled responders when urgently required. Since 2010, Airlink has been solving complex logistical challenges in regions experiencing disaster and humanitarian crisis, driven by the mission to transport supplies from nonprofit organisation partners (NGOs) to affected regions via airline and logistics partners.
“The ability to send aid and transport responders both flexibly and rapidly is made possible by corporate sponsors like AELF, who commit generous pledges towards humanitarian causes,” said Stephanie Steege, Vice President of Humanitarian Programs at Airlink. “We thank everyone at AELF for their dedication to helping communities in crisis around the world through Airlink.”
Airlink’s responses to hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis and other disasters have brought lifesaving and life-changing aid to some of the world’s most vulnerable communities in need of immediate, medium or long-term recovery.
