Maximus To Deliver Humanitarian Aid Within Sudan

Maximus Air Cargo reports that it has commissioned to fly humanitarian aid within Sudan.

No doubt benefiting from it's government links the Abu Dhabi based airline over the next six months will carry about 4,500 tons of relief supplies from Khartoum to all areas of Sudan including food, shelters, medicines and other relief supplies.

Supplies will be airlifted from Khartoum to Geneina, Nyala, Malakal, Juba, Al Fasher, and Al Obeid.

The airlift project is being paid for by the UAE government as a gift to Sudan's Humanitarian Aid Commission.

Maximus will dedicate one Lockheed Hercules L382G aircraft to the operation, along with 12 crew and support staff who will be based in Khartoum for the duration of the project.

The Hercules will carry about 15 tons per flight, beginning with about 10 deliveries a month and rising to two a day as the mission gathers momentum. Flights begin in mid-November and may be extended beyond the initial six-month schedule.

The Sudanese Civil Aviation Authorities have waived all charges for navigation, landing, and parking at all locations in order to facilitate effective operations
