Atlas Air has donated air cargo transport to NYU Langone Health for critical personal protective equipment (PPE). Two flights were operated for this mission, including one from Shanghai to New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on April 9, and a second from Shanghai to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on April 13.
The Atlas Air-operated Boeing 747-400 freighters were filled with medical gowns, face shields and masks necessary to safeguard frontline-responders dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. Atlas Air Worldwide’s headquarters is located in the New York area served by NYU Langone.
