Airlink in Asia & The Pacific
Airlink’s first response in Asia and the Pacific was the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami when Japan was hit by a powerful 9.0 magnitude earthquake in 2011, one of the worst natural disasters in its history. Since, Airlink has responded to cyclones, typhoons, floods, earthquakes, and other long-term complex humanitarian crises, such as in Afghanistan and Myanmar, while also supporting emergency preparedness initiatives for some of the world’s most disaster prone island nations.
A critical component of Airlink’s response condition is the development of localized regional partnerships between Airlink, local airlines, and local disaster response organizations.

In addition to responding to the recent Hawaii floods, Airlink is responding to Cyclone Maila and Super Typhoon Sinlaku. Both caused severe coastal flooding and landslides that brought widespread damage to Pacific island communities. In order to reach them, Airlink’s logistics support to move aid over long distances and to remote locations is critical.
