Airlink first deployed a partner to Europe in 2014 to support the removal of orphaned children from potential crisis zones caused by conflict in Ukraine, followed by sending responders in 2018 to Greece to provide medical care for Syrian refugees. Airlink’s first major response in the region and largest global response to date, began in 2022 responding to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.

A critical component of Airlink’s response condition is the development of localized regional partnerships between Airlink, local airlines, and local disaster response organizations.
