The United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) connects the entire humanitarian and development community to people in need, reaching the most remote and dangerous locations on earth.

It also ensures an uninterrupted delivery of supplies when other transport is disrupted by insecurity or damaged roads or other infrastructure, and where almost no other commercial airline is flying.

UNHAS served 400 regular destinations in 23 countries facing crises and emergencies in 2020, operating more than 100 aircraft. The service supported the global response to COVID-19, including providing a Medical Evacuation Service and transporting medical cargo and staff.

The WFP-managed United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) provides common air services for the humanitarian community to very remote and very challenging locations. In doing so, it facilitates the implementation and monitoring of humanitarian interventions in numerous life-saving thematic areas.

In most countries requiring humanitarian assistance, surface travel is impeded by challenging security situations, long distances and poor road conditions.

Furthermore, most of the destinations the humanitarian community needs to reach are not served by adequate commercial air operators. When no other means of reaching isolated communities is available, aid workers can rely on UNHAS to provide access.
