By creating an aviation arm to its organization, GPI’s GPI Aviation and Global Peace One serve to foster the overall humanitarian efforts of GPI’s team and the work of governments and other NGO’s. A refurbished Boeing 747-SP aircraft dedicated fully to peace missions and humanitarian/disaster relief can respond to global crises in a matter of hours, not days.

By utilizing the graciousness of in-kind gifts of skilled professional aviation, technical and ground teams - GPI can fly cost efficiently. A combination of volunteer and paid staff on the GPI Aviation Team can prepare, load and deliver over 76,000 pounds of cargo and board up to 99 doctors/nurses or other critical relief staff from the United States to places like India, Indonesia, Europe, Africa or Japan without stopping to refuel. In addition, the Global Peace One 747-SP has the ability to land on shorter runways than larger cargo or passenger jets. The speed of this Boeing aircraft cuts flight times and the lead times for emergency relief.
