Our Leadership

Airlink harnesses aviation’s power, speed, and reach to help communities in crisis by flying humanitarian aid and responders to communities across the globe in the wake of natural disasters and other humanitarian crises.

The Governors Council comprises leaders in the aviation and logistics sector who are recognized and influential and who (personally or through their organization) inspire other individuals and organizations to join aviation’s main disaster relief movement. Governors Council members are invited to join the group based on past and current support of Airlink.

Members are current CEOs (or equivalent) of Airlink’s partners. They may also be past leaders of partner organizations, but they all share a dedication to helping people and their communities impacted by natural and man-made disasters.
