The weekly flights are possible through a collaboration between Amazon, Airlink, the U.S. State Department, and United Nations World Food Programme. The State Department will coordinate access with local authorities, Amazon will donate the aircraft and fuel at no cost to humanitarian organizations, Airlink will determine what goes on each flight based on nonprofit needs, and the World Food Programme will manage logistics in Venezuela.

"When more than 6 million people are affected and entire neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble, getting supplies quickly isn't just helpful—it's critical," said Bettina Stix, Director of Amazon's Community Impact. "This air bridge will route supplies to trusted nonprofits on the ground in Venezuela that can put them to use immediately to serve the people most affected by this catastrophe."
