"... maintenance is a science since its execution
relies, sooner or later, on most or all of the
sciences. It is an art because seemingly identical
problems regularly demand and receive varying
approaches and actions and because some
managers, foremen, and mechanics display
greater aptitude for it than others show or even
attain. it is above all philosophy because it is
a discipline that can be applied intensively,
modestly or not at all, depending upon a wide
range of variables that frequently transcend
more immediate and obviuos solutions."

United Nations Humanitarian Air Services
The 2004/5 tsunami disaster in the Indian Ocean presented WFP with one oif its most logistically challenging operations to date: how to deliver food aid to remote areas where much of the infrastructure was damaged or destroyed. WFP launched two Special Operations:
The first provided essential logistics support, such as mobile storage tents, landing crafts/small boats, water purification units, a mine action team for Sri Lanka and a base camp for inter-agency needs in Banda Aceh. The second SO was designed to give air support to the regional operation, including teams to manage aid distribution at air terminals around the region and a passenger service to ferry humanitarian personnel around the region.
Tsunami prompted a massive response from the international communitry organizing flights to deliver humanitarian aid and assistance mainly to Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Maldives.
