Norwegian flies emergency aid to Ethiopia
Norwegian’s most important flight of the year was bound for drought-hit Ethiopia on 6 March 2023. The flight marks the return of Norwegian and Unicef’s “fill a plane” initiative which is now back for the sixth time. This year, Norwegian’s plane was loaded with emergency aid for drought-stricken children that are affected by the region’s worst hunger crisis in 40 years.
For the sixth time, Norwegian, in collaboration with Unicef Norway, sent a plane with emergency aid to one of the world’s major crisis zones.
This year’s mission was to bring relief to children affected by malnutrition and drought in Ethiopia. Norwegian's newest 737 MAX 8 aircraft was loaded with 10 t of emergency aid from Unicef's warehouse in Copenhagen – the world’s largest humanitarian warehouse. (cj)
