Florida Airline Air Unlimited Works with Florida House of Representative Scott Plakon to Organize Hurricane Relief Efforts

Sept. 19, 2019
Relief efforts seek volunteer pilots with aircraft, donations and supplies for the Abacos.

Air Unlimited continues its efforts with Abaco Flight Support Group to serve the evolving needs of the Abacos through an updated hurricane relief plan. Abaco Flight Support Group is a grassroots initiative started by key community members for relief efforts across land and air, including Air Unlimited, President and CEO of Regal Boats Duane Kuck, professional pilot /aviation consultant Dan Drummon, Florida Paints Co-founder Don Strube Jr., among others. Quick intel was gathered to determine logistics, organize safe operations and bring together critical resources including planes, helicopters, boats, supplies, volunteers and the professionals needed to establish a robust supply chain across all of the Abacos. Each organization within Abaco Flight Support Group leverages their own unique resources and expertise to take on the responsibilities that will create the largest impact.

Now, in areas of the Abacos that have received an abundance of donated items since Hurricane Dorian, Abaco Flight Support Group hopes to maintain their supply levels, while shifting resources to focus on the next stage of recovery through the help of skilled personnel. Flights are now being scheduled with Air Unlimited for doctors, builders, engineers and other key specialists looking for safe entry into the Abacos to assist hospitals with bio-medical, environmental and clinical infrastructure as well as expertise needed for the rebuilding of bedroom communities.
