Delivering humanitarian aid at lower cost
Windracers has agreed to partner with Aviation Sans Frontières to operate Windracers Ultra – the low-cost self-flying cargo aircraft designed and manufactured in the UK – to deliver supplies for humanitarian organisations in Africa, starting from early 2025.
“Aviation Sans Frontières was an early adopter of drones as a cost-effective and impactful means of delivering for humanitarian actors and today drones are at the core of Aviation Sans Frontières’s forward strategy. Working with Windracers, Aviation Sans Frontières ushers in the future of humanitarian and development aviation through use of Windracers ULTRA that carries sizeable payloads per trip at a lower cost while taking human pilots out of harm’s way”, said Christian Georlette, chair of Aviation Sans Frontières International.
