KEA is currently supporting an international non-profit organisation in Pibor, South Sudan. Due to extreme flooding, vast majorities of the area including its airfield are flooded, so KEA’s versatile and expedite helicopter services are required. Critical medical aid is being flown in to treat and prevent outbreaks of potential illness.
