Swift Air transports medical supplies to Puerto Rico

Swift Air, the largest, independent charter airline in the United States, made a substantial contribution this week to ongoing hurricane recovery needs in Puerto Rico. Swift Air transported 30,000 pounds of medical supplies from Miami to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where it is being distributed to hospitals and medical facilities throughout the island.

The project was coordinated with Aspen-based philanthropist Jan Soderberg, former President Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation's Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Action Network on Post-Disaster Recovery, which is hosting a meeting in San Juan this week.

Vietjet sends aid

ON the evening of 28 September, a 7.5 magnitude #earthquake hit off the coast of #Sulawesi, triggering dozens of aftershocks and a tsunami that devastated the coastal areas of Palu and Donggala. Authorities estimated at least 1,300 people were killed and the death toll is expected to rise. Around 16,700 people have been displaced and 2.4 million people are in need of humanitarian aid.

In response to the devastating events that hit Indonesia, Vietjet kicked into action to provide aid relief for the earthquake and tsunami affected victims. A special flight VJ2611 themed “Love connection” landed in Jakarta (Indonesia) on the 4th October carrying nearly 7 tons of relief aid which included canned foods, blankets and basic necessities.
