AERObridge is an organization easy to understand. Formerly known as Corporate Aviation Responding in Emergencies (C.A.R.E.), AERObridge has been endorsed by NBAA to coordinate assets, such as business aircraft, during catastrophes when traditional institutions require help.

Two of AERObridge’s most recent operations include relief flying in the aftermaths of Hurricane Katrina and the Haitian earthquake.
