SUBJECT: UNITED NATIONS HUMANITARIAN AIR SERVICE (UNHAS) 
 
1. Summary. The UNHAS launched an inaugural flight in Niger 
on June 12, 2008, with a short trip from Niamey to Agadez to 
Niamey.  The UNHAS will facilitate travel to remote locations 
in country as well as offer limited service from Niger to 
other countries in west and central Africa.  This most 
welcome service is being provided to U.N. system 
organizations and to certain employees and non-governmental 
organization partners (NGO) of U.N. member states.  For 
Government of Niger (GON) partners, the new service will 
reduce travel time to in-country destinations from two or 
more days (by road) to two to three hours.  The service will 
make it possible for GON partners to respond more quickly to 
emergency situations, including providing medical evacuations 
or other emergency assistance.  The UNHAS will provide air 
service to Chad, Cameroon and the Central African Republic 
from Niamey and will connect to existing safe, reliable 
international flights between Dakar and Niamey.  End summary. 
 
2. The UNHAS has established a weekly schedule to provide 
domestic flight service within Niger and international 
flights from Niamey to Ndjamena, Bangui and Yaounde.  The 
U.N. system organizations in Niger requested UNHAS in light 
of the "deteriorating security situation in the northern and 
eastern areas of Niger and the related hampering of the 
capacity of the humanitarian community to respond to 
emergency needs."  (Note: Niger has no domestic air service, 
thus UNHAS will help fill that void.  End note.) 
 
3. The UNHAS is a World Food Program (WFP) charter for both 
passengers and cargo, "operating under the United Nations 
Common Aviation Safety Standards (AVSTADS) as agreed to by 
WFP and the Department of Peacekeeping under the 
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) guidelines." 
 The UNHAS is a 32-seat charter (D328 Jet Aircraft) that will 
be based in Niamey. Standard operating procedures, guidelines 
and related application forms (for passengers and cargo) have 
been provided to offices of the U.N. system and missions of 
U.N. member states. 
 
4. Each mission has been advised to identify two points of 
contact to vet its list of potential UNHAS users.  U.S. 
Embassy Niamey's points of contact are the Ambassador and the 
Deputy Chief of Mission.  In addition to U.S. Embassy 
employees (American and locally engaged staff) engaged in 
humanitarian work, a limited number of management staff from 
the following organizations engaged in humanitarian work have 
been invited to register for inclusion on the U.S. Embassy 
list: U.S. Peace Corps, Africare, Catholic Relief Service, 
CARE, Helen Keller International, Mercy Corps, Academy for 
Educational Development, Famine Early Warning Systems 
Network, Africa Development Foundation, International Relief 
and Development, and Relief International. 
 
5. The UNHAS flights to domestic locations (Agadez, Tahoua, 
Maradi, Zinder) are offered Mondays through Thursdays, on a 
first-come, first-serve basis at no cost to the traveler. 
(Note: Flights to Diffa are expected to be added once repairs 
to the landing tarmac are made.  End note.)  Each mission is 
limited to three seats per flight and is required to book 
seats at least 24 hours in advance.  Missions are permitted 
to request additional seats on a wait-listed basis to fill 
any unbooked seats.  Friday is a crew rest day.  Saturdays 
and Sundays are reserved for international flights to 
Ndjamena, Bangui and Yaounde. 
 
6. On a cost-reimbursable basis, missions may request special 
flights for hours outside the regularly scheduled flights.
