Humanitarian food flights

Dubai based charter operator Eastern SkyJets announced it has been chosen by the United Nations World Food Programme (UNWFP) as its preferred aviation partner for its humanitarian operations in Afghanistan.

ESJ has now positioned its McDonnell Douglas DC9 32 aircraft in Kabul to serve the UNWFP. ESJ has also based its full set up of highly experienced crew and engineers at Kabul to provide all round support to the flights. It conducted the inaugural flight on 20th December amidst loud cheers from all the ESJ staff.

The WFP provides food to about 90 million people per year (more than half of whom are children) helping those who are unable to produce or obtain enough food for themselves and their families.

Eastern SkyJets caters to a wide range of needs including corporate, regional, and international travel services, as well as leisure travel and medical evacuation. They consider themselves to be an industry leader for operations into hostile environments in that region.
