Sky Hope Network, a new nonprofit organization, has been established in the wake of the business aviation industry’s volunteer response to the Haiti earthquake. Founded and headed by Robin Eissler, previously a key member of the aviation response group Corporate Aircraft Responding to Emergencies (C.A.R.E., now known as AERObridge), which helped marshal more than 800 volunteer flights in the weeks ­following the January disaster, the new organization will concentrate on three main areas of activity.

Similar to AERObridge, Sky Hope Network will coordinate business aviation relief flights during disasters, but as a full-time charity it will provide coordination and referrals of flight requests for urgent or emergency situations through its own aircraft network or by working with other flight charity organizations.
