  • Hellenic Imperial Airways close to the people of Haiti (7/4/2010)

    Hellenic Imperial Airways answered the call for help to realize the humanitarian flight for the relief aid to the people of Haiti.

    Badly struck by the devastating earthquake the people of Haiti’s request for help didn’t stay unanswered. Just like many other governments, the Greek Government responded immediately. When looking for a plane with the highest capacity to be able to transfer the enormous amount of relief aid they had gathered, there was only one choice in the Greek market; Hellenic Imperial Airways’ Jumbo Boeing 747’s.

    Hellenic Imperial Airways answered the call for help instantly.

    The Greek Foreign Ministry sent a team of 25 healthcare professionals, nurses, rescuers as well as Hellenic Aid officials and rescue workers, along with pharmaceutical supplies on board a direct flight provided by air carrier Hellenic Imperial Airways on one of their Boeing 747's.

    The company took on 50 % of the expenses as part of their social sensitivity programme to provide aid to the people of Haiti who were left destitute by the 7,0 Richter earthquake. And not only did they offer an amount to cover the expenses of the flight, but the whole mission had a voluntary character. All crew involved, who over came their strength flying for many hours, providing service and fulfilling all requests made by their passengers, flew on a strictly voluntary base.
    This humanitarian mission was a real team effort which filled all its members with an overwhelming feeling of gratitude; being able to contribute to the relief of people in need.
