United Nations Humanitarian Air Service
The United Nations Humanitarian Air Services (UNHAS) is a UN common service managed by the World Food Programme (WFP). UNHAS provides passenger and cargo air services to the entire humanitarian community especially to remote locations where due to lack of infrastructures and insecurity there are no commercial alternatives. UNHAS air facilities are deployed in support of aid delivery and development programmes of the humanitarian community during and after emergencies. UNHAS equally provides one-time dedicated flights/strategic airlifts and performs medical and security evacuations at the request of the humanitarian community.
Timely intervention makes the difference between life and death. When emergencies occur, whether it is the Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar in 2008, Typhoon Ketsana in the Philippines in 2009 or the mid-January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, UNHAS positions aircraft within the first 48 hours. UNHAS is the only Aviation Service in emergencies available to staff from all humanitarian organizations; be it Humanitarian UN agencies, non-governmental organizations or donor community institutions. Equal access is given to all humanitarian agencies on the basis of first-come, first-served. The service is completely demand driven as it responds to the requirements of the humanitarian community established through the User Groups in different country operations.
At the United Nation’s Fifth Session of the High Level Committee on Management held in New York in June 2003, WFP accepted the responsibility of administering air transport services for UN agencies in humanitarian and “other” activities that are not directly or specifically for peacekeeping. UNHAS is one of the five UN Common Services.

WFP/UNHAS responded with massive helicopter deployment during the Haiti earthquake and Pakistan flood in 2010.
