Boeing completed another set of
COVID-19 airlift missions on Monday, deploying three Dreamlifter
aircraft to transport more than 150,000 protective eye goggles and
face shields from China to the United States. Boeing
worked in partnership with the Medical University of South
Carolina (MUSC) to deliver the personal protective
equipment (PPE) to frontline health care professionals in the MUSC
system.
Similar to previous airlift missions
flown by the Dreamlifter – a converted Boeing 747-400 Large Cargo
Freighter – the medical cargo was transported in the lower lobe of
all three aircraft, while 787 component parts were flown in the main
deck cargo hold. Boeing donated the cost of the mission transport,
with Atlas Air operating the flights on behalf of Boeing. Boeing has
scheduled additional flights, to deliver a total of 400,000 units of
PPE to MUSC, in the near future.
“I want to thank all those who worked
so hard to ensure this shipment of critical PPE is arriving
in Charleston today,” said South Carolina Senator Tim
Scott.
