National Airlines Delivers Critical COVID-19 Relief

Company's Boeing 747-400 Freighters Are Carrying Out Highly Critical COVID-19 Missions World-Wide

With the World struggling to stop the spread of the deadly coronavirus, governments across the world are in dire need of masks, gloves, and other relief materials. National has been steadfast in supporting the world in these difficult times by ensuring the supply chain process is maintained, while also moving crucial passenger missions.

Among the many relief missions National Airlines has been involved with, the most recent is a flight operated into Mumbai, India with one of its Boeing 747-400 Freighters carrying key laboratory testing supplies to identify COVID-19. The world's second largest country in terms of population has just implemented a complete lock down to curb the spread of the deadly virus.

National has completed several missions and is contracted to perform more from India, Europe, and China into the USA carrying pharmaceuticals and other medical supplies. "We salute our members, especially the crew who are doing an extraordinary job and accepting the responsibility to fly to world-wide destinations carrying medical supplies and relief materials and braving the challenges we're all facing today," said Chris Alf, Chairman of National. "Delivering the COVID-19 laboratory testing supplies and protective gear are highly time-critical missions in which our fantastic team has accomplished on time."

USA Air Carrier National Airlines operates a fleet of B747-400 Freighters, A330 and B757 passenger aircraft globally.
