Recipients of the supplies include more than 23,000 children, among them about 4,000 children below the age of three, and about 3,500 orphans. Its 747 full freighter departed on June 23 from Frankfurt Hahn airport, having on board infant food, nappies and rusks.
“For us this project is a matter truly dear to our heart,” commented Wolfgang Meier, President and CEO at Silk Way West Airlines. “We have been supporting Wings of Help for a long time and are very proud to be also part of this mission. Wings Of Help is doing a very important job by providing aid supplies to the refugee camps of Hasan Sham and Dibaga and we are doing our utmost to support them with our know-how and fleet of cargo aircraft, wherever we can.”
On June 26, an Ilyushin 76 of Silkway Airlines is providing the feeder flight from Silk Way West‘s global hub in Baku to Erbil. “Despite the fact that such feeders are daily routine for Silkway, these dedicated aid supplies in co-operation with Wings of Help will always remain something special for all of us at Silkway,” added Meier.
