The freight division of Emirates has a close partnership with IHC, developed over several years of delivering relief materials to communities across the world impacted by natural disasters and other crises. We appreciate the great efforts by IHC’s partner Emirates Sk圜argo establishing this humanitarian airbridge between Dubai and India in this time of need”. Last year over 1,292 shipments were dispatched from the IHC in Dubai, setting the standard for humanitarian response globally. The creation of the humanitarian airbridge between Dubai and India, facilitated by Emirates Sk圜argo, Dubai’s International Humanitarian City and UN agencies, to transport urgent medical and relief items, is another example of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid’s vision for the IHC, being brought to life. Giuseppe Saba, CEO of International Humanitarian City, said : “His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid built the International Humanitarian City (IHC), so Dubai, in coordination with humanitarian agencies, would be able to assist communities and families, most in need – around the world. The first shipment sent as part of the Emirates India humanitarian airbridge is a consignment of over 12 tons of multi-purpose tents from the World Health Organization (WHO), destined for Delhi, and coordinated by the IHC in Dubai. The International Humanitarian City in Dubai is the largest crisis relief hub in the world and we will work closely with them to facilitate the movement of urgent medical supplies.” HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Emirates’ Chairman and Chief Executive. Emirates has a lot of experience in humanitarian relief efforts, and with 95 weekly flights to 9 destinations in India, we will be offering regular and reliable widebody capacity for relief materials. We stand with the Indian people and will do all we can to help India get back on its feet. “India and Emirates are deeply connected, since our first flights to India in 1985.
