Airlink is working to provide free or low-cost airlift to regional partners, including search and rescue teams, to operate alongside local first responders after the devastating 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck Colombia on Monday, August 10.

In the first 48 hours after the disaster, Airlink mobilized a search and recue team on behalf of CADENA, with flight support from Avianca Airlines. The team was able to rapidly reach the areas hardest hit by building collapses: Pereira, Cali, Manizales, and rural communities near San Jose del Palmar in Choco.

Now, we need your help to keep the aid flowing. Your support can help us save lives, while time is of the essence, and deliver crucial aid to families in Colombia who face their hardest days ahead.
