Emirates and Dubai Humanitarian have set up an airbridge to Sri Lanka to transport aid to people affected by Cyclone Ditwah. For the next two weeks, the Dubai-based carrier will offer over 100 tonnes of cargo space free of charge on its daily passenger flights to Sri Lanka.
The first shipments departed Dubai International Airport on Tuesday 9 December on the three non-stop Emirates flights connecting Dubai and Colombo. On-ground, the shipments will be sent to a government disaster management unit.
As the largest humanitarian hub in the world, Dubai Humanitarian streamlines relief missions and, through its longstanding partnership with Emirates, is able to mobilize swiftly and efficiently across the airline’s network.
