BlueLight Humanitarian Airlines is a groundbreaking non-profit aviation initiative based in Geneva, Switzerland, dedicated exclusively to humanitarian missions. Unlike traditional carriers, BlueLight operates without a profit motive, focusing instead on delivering emergency aid, evacuating casualties, and transporting humanitarian personnel to crisis zones and underserved regions. Its mission is rooted in neutrality, transparency, and the principles of the Geneva Conventions, aiming to reach areas where commercial airlines cannot or will not operate due to conflict, instability, or economic constraints.
The airline’s leadership includes aviation and humanitarian experts such as Pierre Bernheim, former chairman of Geneva Airport, and Waleed Rawat, CEO of WAIR Global. Together, they’ve designed a fleet tailored for maximum versatility and impact. BlueLight’s core assets include three Airbus A340-300 combi aircraft, configured to carry both passengers and cargo, with onboard medical equipment accredited for air ambulance and casualty evacuation missions. These aircraft are equipped with patented cargo lifts, allowing them to operate in remote or underdeveloped airports.
Complementing the A340s are three Airbus A321P2F freighters, optimized for short-haul cargo missions with high fuel efficiency. BlueLight also deploys a custom-designed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), developed by OBERION Group, capable of carrying up to 500 kg of cargo over 800 km. This UAV can be transported inside the A340 and deployed in areas with limited infrastructure, making it ideal for last-mile delivery in conflict zones or disaster-stricken regions.
BlueLight’s operational rollout is structured in three phases. Phase 1 focuses on Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, with an initial base and aircraft already in place. Phase 2 will expand operations to North and South America by 2030, followed by Phase 3 in the Asia-Pacific region by 2035. The airline also emphasizes transparency through a partnership with Verdeo, offering real-time dashboards that track carbon offsets, mission impact, and financial accountability.
Endorsed by Geneva Airport, Airbus, and Amros Global, BlueLight represents a new model for humanitarian aviation—one that blends technical innovation with ethical purpose. Its mission is not just to fly, but to save lives and restore dignity where it’s needed most.
