Disaster Rescue and Relief

Disaster and rescue and relief response, is the second phase of disaster management where air evacuation, transportation of survivors, search and rescue, emergency medical services, food drops or restoration of infrastructure is required. Starlite’s years of experience in this sector and our proven track record of successful contracts in which we have been involved in most cases characterised by unprecedented natural disasters are where we have excelled. We are equipped with the essential elements necessary to undertake any assignments requiring disaster relief, particularly during the stages after the occurrence. We assist in distribution of food and medical supplies and clean-up operations providing a full complement of affordable, time-effective solutions to minimize the casualties and effects of any disaster. Expediting our mission-ready helicopter and fixed wing aircraft, highly skilled and experienced ground and aircrew and onsite aircraft maintenance teams to a disaster area, ensures that we are able to rapidly restore normality to a stricken area. We have access to an impressive fleet of mission-ready aircraft, providing extended relief and aerial assistance, capable of lengthy flying times and carrying external loads.
