LATAM Cargo Brazil used a Boeing 767F and two adapted B767 and B777 passenger aircraft to transport 50 tons of essential hospital goods from São Paulo/Guarulhos airport to Manaus.
The Latin American carrier, in partnership with VTC LOG, sent 50 respirators and about 50 tons of PPE to Roraima, in addition to 40 respirators for the state of Rondônia.
LATAM Cargo continues to maintain a full airfreight flight schedule after filing for Chapter 11 protection in the US for some of its operating divisions.
“We are very committed to delivering essential goods to Brazilian states in order to fight COVID-19. We have even redesigned our network taking these cargo needs into consideration,” stated Diogo Elias, LATAM Cargo Brazil’s Director.
This initiative is one of many actions LATAM Cargo is carrying out in Brazil in order to supply all the country’s regions. Since the pandemic began, more than 100 flights have been carried out to transport around 600 tons of different goods in order to fight the disease. These include: medicines, tests, alcohol-based gel, masks, gloves, thermometers, respirators and food donations.
