United Cargo, humanitarian aid organization Airlink and US-based charity Good360 have delivered relief supplies to thousands of people affected by the Kona Low storms in Hawaii.
On April 10, a United Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner left Chicago O’Hare International Airport bound for Kahului Airport with tons of essential items such as generators, baby wipes and hygiene supplies.
United managing director – cargo, Americas, Chris Busch, said: “When disaster hits, the speed at which emergency aid supplies are brought in, is crucial to mitigating further consequences. Our long-standing partnership with Airlink Inc. means that we now have a well-orchestrated response process whenever crisis occurs. United Airlines ensures that the cargo capacity is made available and supplies are quickly built up, cleared for transport, and loaded.”
Airlink president and chief executive, Paloma Adams-Allen, added: “Critical shipments are reaching families in Hawaii faster and more efficiently thanks to United generously airlifting the cargo we coordinated with Good360. This shipment of generators and baby wipes will make a tangible difference for affected families.”
