Air Charter Service has flights to help Cyclone Chido victims

Since Cyclone Chido, the French island of Mayotte in the Western Indian Ocean in December, the Air Charter service was busy arranging rented flights for humanitarian aid to the region, flying in more than 1000 tons so far, as flights continued.

With winds exceeding 220 km/h (136 miles per hour), the archipelago torn on Saturday, December 14, destroying the villages, and leaving thousands without shelter, water or electricity. Bin Denzal, Director of Governmental and Humanitarian Services at Air Charter Service, commented:

“The island’s infrastructure has been severely damaged, so most of our covenants flew to the nearby La Réunion, as military boats transferred aid to the final destination of Mayotte. The goods that we were eating were a real mix of medicine, cleaning groups, tents, camps family, blankets, water generators, water, and water groups.

“Most aid has, of course, came from France, but we have many covenants that leave from other parts of Europe as well. So far, we booked nearly 30 flights to the region, on a variety of aircraft including Antonov An-12S, Airbus A321S, A300S, Boeing B737S, B777S and B747S.

Unfortunately, the situation in Mayotte worsened, as the other tropical storm, Diketedi, causes the hurricane, in floods and clay collapses, due to heavy rains. We hope this is the last of them for them and the aid can reach those who need it. “
