Air Partner has successfully delivered 90 tonnes of food to the Central African Republic as part of the United Nations MINUSCA Project.

Air Partner delivered the aid on behalf of Ecolog International in supports of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) project.
 
“We are delighted that we were able to leverage our extensive experience of arranging time-critical operations to logistically challenging destinations in support of the MINUSCA Project. In circumstances such as these, time is of the essence and ensuring that food supplies reach those in need as quickly as possible is our top priority,” said Richard Smith, director of freight at Air Partner.
 
The MINUSCA project is concerned with security, humanitarian, human rights and political crisis in the region, and Air Partner delivered the air, including 50 tonnes of frozen food items, on time despite difficult equatorial conditions at Bangui M’Poko International Airport.
