Research into Action
We know there are pilots who want to volunteer but administrative processes hold them back, volunteer pilot organizations (VPOs) coordinating missions with limited resources, and communities with real transportation needs that aviation could help solve.
Today, humanitarian aviation is fragmented across disconnected systems and manual processes. We’re translating years of research into a new coordination model that helps these groups work together more efficiently and visibly.
Explore each audience to see how we’re building tools to support your role.
Proving Your Airport’s Community Value
Airports are judged on what people can see. Humanitarian missions make impact visible and we’re building a simple way to coordinate activity and report it clearly.
- Mission visibility: track humanitarian flights tied to your field.
- Defensible reporting: exportable metrics for boards, towns, and funders.
- Local partnerships: connect nonprofits and VPOs to your airport for repeat mission activity.
Outcome: a clearer story of why your airport matters backed by real missions and data.
Faster Access, Lower Travel Costs
Many nonprofits have urgent needs but distance and transportation costs limit reach. We’re creating a clear path to request support and get matched with volunteer aviation partners.
- Simple requests: describe the need, timing, and locations.
- Partner coordination: connect to VPOs and pilots who can support the mission.
- Clear status: fewer handoffs, easier updates, less time lost in email.
Outcome: more people served with less time and money spent on logistics.
Modern Tools for Mission Coordination
VPOs do the hard work of coordination often with manual systems. We’re building lightweight infrastructure that reduces admin load and makes outcomes easier to measure... for free.
- One coordination layer: mission flow, communications, and status in one place.
- Cleaner pilot workflows: less back-and-forth, clearer readiness and assignment tracking.
- Impact reporting: simple metrics to brief donors, boards, and partners.
Outcome: more missions enabled with less admin overhead.
Volunteering Without the Friction
Pilots want to help but opportunities are scattered and onboarding can be confusing. We’re organizing mission opportunities and simplifying the path from “interested” to “ready.”
- Find missions faster: see opportunities in one place.
- Clear expectations: mission details, timing, and coordination made simple.
- Less admin noise: fewer threads, fewer duplicate steps, more time to fly.
Outcome: a simpler way to turn flight time into real-world impact.
