Relief from Brindisi to Gaza
The cargo division of Air Partner, a global full-service logistics provider headquartered in London, recently completed a cargo operation to transport 92 t of humanitarian relief for people in Gaza, a total of over 39,000 items including blankets, fleeces, and hygiene kits.
The operation was carried out with three flights over three days using an A300F aircraft from Brindisi (Italy) to Al Arish (Egypt).
Organising flights to and from Al Arish airport can present operational challenges, as it is a military airport with a small fuel storage facility that prioritises military aircraft for fuel uplift.
Despite such potential challenges that are intensified during a time of conflict, Air Partner's experienced cargo team was able to arrange refuelling and delivery of the materials successfully and on time. (ah)
