STILL FLYING: AN URGENT MEDICAL SUPPLY FLIGHT IN CHINA DURING COVID-19
Summary
While news headlines focus on the decline of international travel, it’s important to remember that many essential and critical missions are still being conducted by the general and business aviation communities. Last week, we had the opportunity to support an important domestic medical supply delivery in China to help the people treating and fighting the spread of COVID-19. A fourth, Sam Liu, packed his bags and jumped on the first available commercial flight from Beijing to Fuzhou (three hours away by air) to support the mission on the ground. He spent the entire night walking through every logistical component onsite to make sure the airport was prepared to support the flight and its cargo. Ultimately, the flight arrived, it was handled smoothly, the cargo was unloaded, and the vital medical supplies reached those in need.
