14m test kits flown to Linz from Shanghai / Airbus A330 in action four times
Using a chartered Vamos Airbus A330 specially converted for passenger cabin transport, Gebrüder Weiss has been handling shipments of two to three million COVID-19 antigen tests per flight since the beginning of March.
This project contract for a leading medical company was concluded with a flight from Shanghai to Linz on April 1. A Boeing 747 was chartered, which alone carried five million of the urgently needed 14 million test kits from China to Austria.
To meet the high demand for rapid tests, Gebrüder Weiss developed an air bridge consisting of five charter flights between China and Austria. After the aircraft had landed, several Gebrüder Weiss trucks ensured the smooth onward transport of the medical devices to their respective recipients. The majority of the cargo was destined for pharmaceutical wholesalers.
