Qatar Airways has volunteered free air cargo transportation for medical relief aid organised by Chinese Embassies and Consulates worldwide to fight the Corona virus emergency.
Qatar’s national carrier has aims to independently donate millions of medical-grade masks and sanitization bottles to areas in China most urgently in need. Medical supplies donated by Chinese communities worldwide will be flown by Qatar Airways Cargo freighters through its global network of 170 destinations to its China cargo gateways in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macau.
Qatar Airways Cargo delivered the first batch of critical medical relief aid to Shanghai on February 2, 2020. Under the relief programme by Chinese overseas communities, 700 Kg of medical aid has already been donated by Chinese businesses and communities in Qatar alone. The “Green Channel” initiative for complimentary air transportation was announced jointly by Qatar Airways and the Chinese Embassy in Qatar. Qatar Airways is the first international airline to volunteer emergency relief flight delivery.
