 ABOUT US 

The Humanitarian Pilots Initiative was founded in Autumn 2015 by a small team of friends and acquaintances who share a common passion and goal. Since then, the foundation has expanded and currently has more than 25 individuals working with HPI on a voluntary basis. Everyone brings their unique expertise and experience to HPI. Together we carry out our operations in a professional and successful manner.

HPI is registered as a foundation in the Swiss commercial register. We are a non-profit organisation.
