Love Letter To Qatar Airways
We hear lots of stories of an effect, since the Wuhan China Coronavirus impacted the world. Looking around air cargo for a sense of the mood, whilst cancellations of flights and services has surely impacted trade shows and events all over Asia, we detect no lack of heart or sympathy for the plight of people in China right now. Just this week Qatar Airways has volunteered free air cargo transportation for medical relief aid organized by Chinese embassies and consulates worldwide to fight the coronavirus emergency. The country’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. The shipment included 100,000 medical-grade N95 respiratory masks and 2,700 medical-grade disposable latex gloves, providing essential protection to healthcare professionals working around the clock at hospitals in Hubei Province, the epicentre of the virus. Meantime In Japan—Flags that read “Cheer up, Wuhan” are displayed on boxes of relief supplies destined for China , a sentiment repeated at airports and cargo areas, busy shipping relief supplies to China. Let’s face it. Everyone had hoped that 2020 would carry forward the signs of recovery that glimmered a bit in December. Now those hopes have been dimmed by the uncertainty of the Coronavirus pandemic, which has been described by some, including former U.S. Presidential Advisor Stephen K. Bannon as ‘China’s Chernobyl.’ Love Letter To Qatar Airways Here our award-winning Managing Editor Flossie Arend falls in love with Qatar Airways and uses her creative writing genius, to paint a word picture of pleasures well met, for all lovers, on Valentine's Day February 14, 2020. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/geoffrey-arend/support
