WFP Aviation 2008 Annual Report
When emergency strikes and perdures, often the only way to reach beneficiaries is by air. Without air service, it would be impossible for humanitarian workers to access to populations in need or deliver medicines and urgent supplies on time.

Ninety Minutes Over Hispaniola
When you leave the runway in Santo Domingo, the earth falls away - quickly replaced by verdant green jungle cloaking the rolling hills to the west of the city. Tropical haze soon separates you from the ground and you can only make out soft forms passing far below. Off to the east smoke-stacks punctuate the grey cityscape and the gentle curve of the jagged coast cuts to the horizon.
