Over 110 tonnes of aid including tents, water purifiers, mobile kitchens and general cargo were transported on two charter flights to Port-au-Prince on an AN-124-100 and an IL-76TD-90VD.
The two flights went from Madrid and Liege airports with cargo from several United Nations agencies, national and International Red Crosses and international non-governmental organisations supported by several European Governments. Volga-Dnepr says it plans to operate more flights to the region.
Pauli Immonen, Deputy Director Healthcare and Humanitarian Logistics at Volga-Dnepr Group says: “Thanks to aligned and long-standing relations with freight forwarders, brokers, NGOs, humanitarian agencies, airport authorities and other stakeholders we guarantee a fast and seamless response and organise life-saving air transport to almost any region or country of the world.”
