Arctic Directory: Lynden Air Cargo assisting with the Haiti relief

Lynden Air Cargo said Jan. 15 that it is using the oversized capacity of its L 100-30 Hercules aircraft to fly rescue vehicles, portable kitchens and other relief supplies to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, after a Jan. 12 earthquake devastated the capital city. Within hours, Lynden Air Cargo pilots were flying relief missions out of Washington, D.C., and they continue to pick up more supplies from U.S. points to deliver in support of humanitarian rescue efforts. “With an urgent need for relief supplies, aid flights are critical to prevent more human suffering. We are coordinating flights as quickly as possible in cooperation with government authorities,” said Judy McKenzie, Lynden Air Cargo president. Lynden operates a fleet of six Hercules around the world; the unique features of the aircraft make it ideal for flying aid into isolated disaster areas. For more information visit www.lynden.com.
