If there's no room to land a plane, and the island is too small for a reliable airdrop, you can also perform a low altitude parachute extraction.

The low-altitude parachute-extraction system (LAPES) is a tactical military airlift delivery method where a fixed wing cargo aircraft can deposit supplies in situations in which landing is not an option, in an area that is too small to accurately parachute supplies from a high altitude.

Note that the plane here doesn't actually land.
