Preliminary note: This E.O.I. is a standing E.O.I. not related to any specific procurement exercise. The

UN/PD is looking for qualified aircraft operators for the provision of air charter services in support of peacekeeping and special political missions mainly located in Africa and the Middle East, which depend on these air charter services to meet their mandates.
