Amex GBT teams up with Airlink to support emergency disaster relief
American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT) and humanitarian relief organization Airlink have announced a new partnership.
It aims to help first responders travel quicker to disaster areas.
Airlink provides free transport for a vetted network of more than 200 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and emergency relief charities around the world.
These personnel assist communities in the aftermath of disasters.
The new initiative will see Amex GBT deploying custom travel booking solutions and services for Airlink and its NGO partners.
It works to streamline the complex process of getting rapid-response emergency relief workers to where they need to be.
The partnership will also see many of the NGO travel bookings managed by Amex GBT travel counselor volunteers supporting Amex GBT’s social impact travel desk.
The partnership is expected to be operational in early 2024.
Evan Konwiser, Amex GBT’s Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer, said, “We believe that travel powers progress, and one of the best examples is moving people when it matters most.”
“We are backing our beliefs with actions and partnerships.”
