Air Charter Service’s New York team were last month requested to arrange the air transportation of technical equipment to Port of Spain (POS), Trinidad, after a strong earthquake (6.1 magnitude) hit the island and damaged a natural gas production plant.Fortunately there were no reports of serious injuries caused by the quake. There was however damage to infrastructure, and as a major supplier of natural gas to the United States and other countries the operators of damaged production plant urgently required technical equipment and spare parts for repairs.
The team in New York arranged four urgent cargo charters into Port of Spain in the days after the earthquake. Ruan Courtney arranged a DC-10 and a DC-8 aircraft from the UK, followed by the charters of two Falcon 20 aircraft from Texas.
These successful time-critical aircraft charters allowed repairs to be made and output restored in the shortest time possible.

It's good to read about some air charter services that are more than just commercial flights and are actually vital for rescue and recovery.
