New start-up: BlueLight Humanitarian Airlines

Founded by two pilots and enterpreneurs is a new Geneva-based start-up called BlueLight Humanitarian Airlines. This company is "dedicated exclusively to the transport of humanitarian aid, medical teams, and emergency relief, and will operate as a fully non-profit entity governed by Swiss standards of transparency and neutrality".

According to the start-up's press-release, BlueLight is planning to operate a fleet of modified Airbus A340-300s as well as the A321-200P2F. Next to its fixed-wing aircraft, it also plans to operate a fleet of large-scale drones.

It's unclear when the company aims to have its first aircraft operational and ready for service. It's also unclear where they will be sourced from.
