The LATAM Group has transported 35 tons of humanitarian aid from Miami to the Bahamas following the devastation caused by hurricane Dorian.
Medicines, medical instruments, sanitary and edible items were all part of the shipment via LATAM Cargo and the airline’s Humanitarian Relief Plane initiative.
“The Humanitarian Relief Plane is a true reflection of the LATAM Group’s desire to contribute to our community through concrete actions, acting when we’re needed the most. As we have done before in other countries in Latin America, we continue to be available for collaboration in mitigating the suffering of those most affected by natural disasters”, comments Andres Bianchi, CEO of LATAM Cargo.
The Humanitarian Relief Plane is an initiative that falls within the framework of the LATAM Group’s commitment to communities affected by natural disasters, and that makes available the structure, connectivity and capacity to transport company passengers and cargo. The plane has been activated in earlier circumstances for Chile’s forest fires, flooding in Peru, hurricane Maria aftermath in Puerto Rico, and the earthquake in Ecuador, among other cases.
