WASHINGTON, June 23, 2026
Airlink, Inc. and Embraer Foundation today renewed their partnership to support global humanitarian response during and following natural and manmade disasters.
Airlink, a U.S.-based, global humanitarian organization, helps provide life-saving aid and humanitarian relief to where it’s needed most, quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively, by activating their air transport and logistics network in the event of a disaster or crisis.
“Airlink’s model of harnessing aviation as a force for good to transform aid delivery for communities around the world only works when we have consistent, trusted partners who help us reach even the most remote areas,” said Paloma Adams-Allen, Airlink President and CEO. “We are grateful to Embraer for their continued support for our mission, which positions us to grow our US and global disaster preparedness and response capabilities, so as to get communities the aid and relief they need through conflict, natural disasters, and disease outbreaks.”
Embraer, a global aerospace company, has supported Airlink’s humanitarian and disaster response for nearly a decade. Notably, their generosity enabled the organization get relief to communities navigating the devastating 2017 Caribbean hurricane season, including Hurricane Dorian’s devastation in the Bahamas.
Adams-Allen and Monica Newman McCluney, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility and the Embraer Foundation, formalized the partner via signing ceremony on the margins of Airlink’s inaugural Global Partner Forum, Collaboration for Impact. The event brought together the organization’s extensive network of humanitarian, logistics, and aviation partners and donors to advance a shared agenda: improving the effectiveness of disaster response through coordination and innovative partnerships.
“Through our partnership with Airlink, we are able to leverage aviation to support communities in times of greatest need,” said Newman McCluney. “We are grateful for Airlink’s leadership and dedication to delivering aid where it is needed most. Through the Embraer Foundation, we focus on strategic social investments in the communities where we operate, and this collaboration allows us to extend that impact globally.” To join Airlink and Embraer Foundation in supporting communities around the world, or to learn more about Airlink’s ongoing responses, visit the link here.
